With all of measures taken (including periodontal dressing), the distal bone
graft (Fig.8 *) is ~ 2 mm coronal to the crestal bone (red arrow) 6 months
postop. G: graft; <: septal crest. In fact the abutment is
incompletely seated. The temporary crown is perforated. The gingival
cuff is erythematous. A 6.8x5 mm healing abutment is installed. When
the patient returns for impression, a 4.5x5.5(3) mm abutment is fully seated
(Fig.9 <). The distal height increases by 4 mm because of immediate
implant (support).

A drawback associated with a smaller abutment is a
possible loose crown.
