The implant seems to remain non-osteointegrated 3.5 months postop (Fig.9). Later a 6.8x4 mm healing abutment is placed with occlusal clearance. X-ray will be taken every 2-3 months until osteointegration occurs. Although the bone density around the implant increases nearly 6 months postop (Fig.10), the implant remains tender when a 5x4(4) mm pair abutment is tightened. The healing abutment is reused. The bone density around the implant increases 11 months postop (Fig.11). Uncover is done with 5.5 mm profile drill. 术后12个月松开愈合基台时下面植体疼痛,植体好像种得太浅(图十一)。
