Brief summary
This study will demonstrate the benefits of platform switching design of the Osseotite dental implant.
Detailed description
The Osseotite Certain Prevail implant with its platform switch feature will demonstrate higher success rate than the non-platform Osseotite Certain implant
Interventions
