Partial Edentulism, Tooth Disease
Conditions
Keywords
clinical study, edentulism, dental implants, Nanotite Certain Tapered implant, randomized, crestal bone level, immediate loading
Brief summary
Integration success rates measured by lack of implant mobility and crestal bone regression measurement will be higher for the experimental implant design than for the control implants.
Detailed description
In this study patients are randomized to receive either the experimental implant system or the control Nanotite Certain Tapered (standard abutment connection) and assessed for integration success measured by cumulative success rate in cases that are loaded immediately
Interventions
New abutment connection implant
Nanotite certain tapered (standard abutment connection) implant

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* patients of either sex and older than 18 years of age * patients needing at least one dental implant to treat partial edentulism * patients physically able to tolerate surgical and restorative dental procedures * patients agreeing to all protocol visits
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
