Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) patient with immunodeficiency (a long course of antibiotics, use of steroid, use of immunosuppressive drug) 2) patient expected to bring on incomplete cure of bone(use of bisphosphonate, after radiation to head and neck area, etc.) 3) patient with severe metabolic disease or mal-controlled metabolic disease 4) patient with kidney failure 5) patient with contraindication to surgical management 6) parturient 7) patient whose oral hygiene is poor 8) patient that needs large-sized bone augmentation (except for GBR, small-sized bone graft to socket, etc.) 9) patient with mucosal disease on the place of implant therapy 10) patient with heavy bruxism 11) patient that the attending dentist considers is unsuitable for implant therapy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We will put an octa-fix implant into a place of missing tooth. We will follow for up to 5 years. Evaluation and test items <Treatment evaluation> Success rate of implant therapy: whether or not the implant is functioning soundly. Survival rate of implant therapy: whether or not the implant is remaining. <Absorption rate of a peripheral bone> We will take dental X-rays shortly after an implant is put into a bone, and the superstructure is fixed. Furthermore, we will take dental X-rays 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, (and 60 months) after the superstructure is fixed. Then, we will evaluate absorption rate of a peripheral bone with dental X-ray photos. <Consideration of the period to osseointegration> Only for specific patients. We will use an implant-mobility indicator (Ostel ISQ). We will measure implant mobility shortly after an implant is put into a bone, and every 2 weeks for 16 weeks. | — |
