Fig.1: Approximately two months post extraction

Fig.7: Approximately four months post extraction; immediately post implantation

Fig.9: Two and a half months post implantation.  The mesial lamina dura (Fig.9': arrowheads) is disappearing, while the bone density immediately next to the implant increases probably due to extension of trabecules across the lamina dura (long arrow).
