Filter by:The study objective is to establish that there is no statistical difference in marginal bone level change comparing a Standard drilling protocol with a Soft bone drilling protocol when using OsseoSpeed TX and immediate loading.
The hypothesis of this study is that there is a significant difference in bone maturation after sinus grafting determined by the distance from the buccal to the palatal wall of this cavity.
The study aims to evaluate maintenance of lingual/palatinal marginal bone with the (ASTRA TECH Implant System) OsseoSpeed™ Profile implant in sites where the alveolar crest anatomy is sloped in a lingual to buccal direction. The hypothesis is that the sloped marginal contour of the implant will help preserve the lingual/palatinal marginal bone.
Change in crestal bone level implants at 5% significance level.
Dental implants are small metal posts that look like miniature screws. They are surgically implanted into the jawbone where they serve as substitute tooth roots. Implants are used in dentistry to reestablish function and aesthetics to areas of the mouth were natural teeth are missing. Classical dental implants are made in two pieces. One part anchors in the jawbone and one part serves as a connecting post (an abutment) that attaches to a crown restoration or to attachment clasps that hold a denture in place. Occasionally the materials used to fasten the two implant components together work their way loose and over time the abutment may begin to disconnect. If this happens a small gap appears between the implant and abutment. There are many reasons why this loosening occurs. One reason may be the design of the implant itself and another may be the way the two components are fastened together. This study will assess the performance of an implant with a new design. The investigators hypothesize that using this implant design will reduce the risk of an implant-abutment disconnect and improve long-term success of implant therapy.
