The buccal (Fig.10) and lingual (Fig.11) gingiva is healthy and keratinized (*).  The implant is ready for restoration (2.5 months postop). The mesial margin is slightly subgingiva.  After prep, the margin is lower than what is shown in Fig.10.11.  Trim a little bit of gingiva from the mesial papilla (in model) before fabrication of the crown.
