Setting acrylic is applied around the abutment (Fig.6 ^) to form an immediate provisional and extend mesially into the overhang of the existing provisional at #14 (Fig.2 *) for retention. The immediate provisional is intentionally kept in place to form conjoined provisional with that of #14. Three years post cementation, the angled abutment at #14 is detached from the implant. Recently they are re-connected with resin bonding. A provisional is fabricated. Two crowns will be fabricated together when the implant at #15 is osteointegrated. In fact the palatal edge of #15 abutment (^) should be heavily adjusted prior to impression.
