Fig.2: When a 5x20 mm implant (I, insertion torque 50/60 Ncm) is placed, the 3 most coronal threads appear not to be covered by the native bone.  A: 4x5 mm abutment; *: bone graft (mixture of autogenous bone (from reamer), mineralized allograft and Osteogen. Three months (5 months postop Fig.20) and 13 months (Fig.23) post cementation, more and more of the most coronal threads appear to have been contacted by the more condensing bone.  The mesial gap also seems to be reducing gradually.
