Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Two adjacent missing teeth in the maxilla or mandible in positions of premolars and molars • At least one tooth present adjacent to the edentulous space • At least 10 mm of vertical bone height in the mandible • At least 6 mm of vertical bone height in the maxilla

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint (at visit 4: 15 weeks after implant placement) is to histologically evaluate the height of the biologic width (including sulcus depth, junctional epithelium, connective tissue) around Zirconia and titanium implants.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The following secondary endpoints will be assessed after 1, 3 and 5 years after insertion of the final reconstruction: • Implant survival • Radiographic bone level • Esthetic analysis • Technical complications • Biological complications • Clinical measurements: plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, width of keratinized tissue
