A 6x8 mm Bicon implant (3 mm post) was placed as distal as possible (I in Fig.2).  Three months later, the implant was uncovered with evidence of osteointegration (arrowheads in Fig.3).  A 4x6.5 mm 0 degree non-shouldered abutment with 3 mm post (A) was inserted into the implant well.  The flat surface of the abutment needed to face distal in order to seat the abutment without interference.  Return to main article
