Three weeks postop, the provisional will be modified to make incisure between the 2 crowns so that the papilla can grow down.  In spite of modification, the patient complains of air leak between the crown.  Temporary abutments were used with new provisional on November 7, 2017.  The gingiva is healthier 8 months postop.  The incisal edge of the provisional is discontinuous (Fig.9), suggesting the access hole too buccal.
