Less than 4 months postop, there is mild oblique bone resorption between the implants (Fig.19 arrowhead).  Clinically these two implant do not look so close to each other.  There is no further bone loss 22 months post cementation (Fig.20).  The gingiva at #11 looks greyish (Fig.21,22 ^), although there is no bone loss 3 years post cementation (Fig.23).  In fact the bone density mesial and distal to the implant at #10 increases (*).  The bone density around the most coronal threads remains high 4 years post cementation (Fig.24 * (bruxism)).  The patient feels that the tooth #9 is mobile.
