Brief summary

The purpose of this study is primarily to evaluate implant survival rate of Astra Tech Fixture ST placed in the posterior maxilla. A one-stage surgical protocol will be used and the implants will be loaded four weeks after implant installation (early loading). Marginal bone levels, plaque and status of the periimplant mucosa will also be evaluated. The subjects will be followed for three years.

Interventions

DEVICEAstra Tech Fixture ST

Astra Tech Fixture ST Ø 3.5 and 4.5 cm in lengths of 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 mm.

Inclusion criteria

* Age 18 - 75 * Unilateral or bilateral edentulism in the posterior maxilla, last tooth should be the canine or the first bicuspid * Willing to give informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* Bone height \< 5 mm, in the planned implant area * Bone width \< 5 mm, in the planned implant area * Previous bone augmentation procedure in the planned implant area * Previous failures of endosseous implants * Untreated caries and/or periodontal disease of residual dentition * History or presence of any systemic or local disease or condition that would compromise post-operative healing and/or osseointegration * Systemic corticosteroids or any other medication that would compromise post-operative healing and/or osseointegration * Current alcohol or drug abuse * Unable or unwilling to return for follow-up visits for 3 years

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Implant Survival RateAt follow-up visit: 6 months after implants have been loadedAn implant that has failed to osseointegrate, lost its osseointegration or fractured will be considered a failure effective from the date of removal. Implant Survival Rate will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method based on the number of placed implants. Patients who discontinued the study after the last implant failure do not affect the cumulative survival rate.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Implant Failure3 years after implant placementTotal number of implants reported as failure.

Outcome results

Primary

Implant Survival Rate

An implant that has failed to osseointegrate, lost its osseointegration or fractured will be considered a failure effective from the date of removal. Implant Survival Rate will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method based on the number of placed implants. Patients who discontinued the study after the last implant failure do not affect the cumulative survival rate.

Time frame: At follow-up visit: 6 months after implants have been loaded

Population: Population includes subjects who completed the 6 month visit (2 subjects missed the 6 month visit but completed the 1 year visit).
