So does the definitive implant (Fig.6, 25 Ncm), but it is placed low. The gingiva looks healthy 13 days postop (2nd placement (without paresthesia)). A healing cap will be placed for restoration ~ 3 months postop. Due to coronavirus and prolonged placement of a healing abutment with poor oral hygiene, the buccal gingiva of the implant is erythematous 1 year postop with bone loss (Fig.9). Sticky bone seems to be necessary. A 6x5 mm abutment with slots will be placed to hold periodontal dressing in place.
