BW shows the least distortion of fins of Magicore (Fig.4).  It is difficult to determine whether the coronal fins are covered by the bone, even though the osteotomy is probed prior to implantation.  Preop CBCT may be important to pre-determine the diameter of an implant to be placed.

To increase retention of periodontal dressing, the opening of Magicore is intentionally unblocked.

The implant appears to be osteointegrated 2.5 months postop (Fig.6 (*: healing cap)).
