Bone Graft (Fig.4 *) is shown around the implant and a longer abutment (4.5x5.5(5) mm) after trimming.  The graft cannot be pushed to the mesial surface of the tooth #14, probably due to the presence of the interdental papilla.

Bone density between #13 and 14 appears to increase 3 months postop (Fig.10).  There seems to be more bone growth (i.e., decreasing gap) 6 months postop (Fig.12).

While there is minimal bone loss at #13 and 15 three years and 4 months post cementation, the tooth #14 and 18 are mobile (Fig.13,14).
