Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Informed Consent as documented by signature (Appendix Informed Consent Form) • Male and female patients from 18-80 years of age • Presence of a ASTRA Tech Implant with an implant diameter of 3.6 or 4.2 mm in the maxillary or mandibular esthetic region (premolar to premolar). • Need for a single implant-supported crown • Implant position enabling screw-retained crown • Presence of at least 1 neighbouring tooth

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome is the stability of the buccal margo mucosae six months after insertion of the final reconstruction. It is evaluated by measuring the difference of the clinical crown length at baseline and six months later (recession).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome variables include the clinical feasibility, investments in time and costs for all three treatment modalities and esthetic outcomes (Photos, Papilla-index). These parameters will be assessed 1, 3 and 5 years after final reconstruction.
