Three days later, the crown is sectioned and separated from the abutment.  The latter returns to place; due to angulation associated with PA, the gap between the implant and abutment is indistinct (Fig.11).  Bitewing is taken; the gap exists (Fig.12 <).  The abutment seems to be seated deep; there is apparently soft tissue interference.  A 5.2x4(2) mm abutment remains incompletely seated (Fig.13 >).  A 5.2x4(3) mm one is completely seated (Fig.14 <).
