A layer of new bone forms on the top of the implant 3 months postop (Fig.4 *).  It is removed with surgical handpiece.  After use of 5.6 mm profile drill, a 6x4 mm healing abutment is placed with minimal clearance from the mesial crest (Fig.5 *).  A month later, a 5x4(3) mm pair abutment is seated apparently completely (Fig.6).  A crown is delivered nearly 6.5 months postop (Fig.7 (mesial contact light)).  The implant is subcrestal (*).
