After implant removal, the osteotomy depth increases by ~ 1mm. Following untorque for 2nd time to remove MB trapped gauze, the implant loses stability substantially, although the implant is placed deeper (equicrestal lingually; Fig.5 arrow); to keep Vanilla graft/Osteogen (*) in place, a 7.8x4(2) mm abutment is placed with fabrication of an immediate provisional. PA is taken 3 months postop. Impression is taken 2 weeks later after placement of a 5.8x4(2) mm abutment with a sleeve.
