After good dryness of field, the same type of periodontal probe was inserted gently in sulcus, no more than 1 mm, then moved in an encircling movement with a little pressure directed towards the soft tissue (Figure 2), after a few seconds, scores were observed as:

Score 0: no bleeding.36

Score 1: single point bleeding.36

Score 2: moderate multi points bleeding.36

Score 3: profuse bleeding in multiple points on probing.36

Score 4: suppuration.36

All the four surfaces (lingual, distal, mesial and labial) of the healing abutment were measured and a mean of them was considered to represent the reading of the individual implant.
