Three months postop, the splinted provisional is removed.  The abutment at #14 is supragingival and is changed to 4.5x7(3) mm one.  Individual temporary crowns are fabricated.  Two weeks later, a small papilla forms between #14 and 15, while the temp at #13 is lost.  The abutment at #13 changes to 4.5x7(5) mm one (Fig.7) with a new provisional, whereas those at #14 and 15 relined.  In fact the abutment at #15 is incompletely seated (<) probably related to contact with the mesial crest (*).
