Clinical exam reveals tenderness over the buccal gingiva, although there is not much buccal thread exposure (Fig.14 B).  Water pik is recommended.  The existing crown will be removed for provisional with deeper distal margin and good contour.  A 7x14 mm cylindrial implant would be better than 8x14 mm tapered one in term of buccal thread exposure.
