A patient had an abscessed tooth extracted as a temporary measure. Two months later, the dentist placed four dental implants in a single stage procedure, using two-piece healing abutments. At the four month follow up, the implants had integrated well but the implant in the area of the former tooth #20 could benefit from a soft tissue graft to improve the gum tissue.
