Implant Complication, Prosthesis Survival
Conditions
Brief summary
To prospectively monitor the survival rate of Ankylos® dental implants, comparing delayed versus immediate loading, using abutments with the SynCone® concept for implant-supported detachable dental prosthesis (ISDDP) in the edentulous upper jaw.
Interventions
surgical procedure and placement of implants
cone-anchored implant supported removable dental prostheses placement
cone-anchored implant supported removable dental prostheses placement in 3mo

Inclusion criteria
* Provision of informed consent * Extraction sockets should have healed at least 4 months * Sufficient bone volume to place six implants in the maxilla * No previous bone augmentation procedures * The mandible can have any kind of dentition as long as a well-distributed contact relationship with the new prosthesis in the maxilla can be established. * Accepting to comply with study procedures

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| probing pocket depth | Difference between loading and Year two | Measurement in mm, 4 sites per implant. |
| plaque | Difference between loading and Year two | presence of plaque, 4 sites per implant, Yes=1 or No=0 |
| bleeding on probing | Difference between loading and Year two | presence of bleeding on probing, 4 sites per implant, Yes=1 or No=0 |
