Study of the Integration Success of an Implant System With a Novel Abutment Attachment Design in Immediate Loading Cases (Bridge)

ZimVie

Status: Completed

Conditions: Tooth Disease; Partial Edentulism

Treatments: Device: New Abutment Connection implant; Device: Nanotite Certain Tapered implant

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Industry

Identifiers

Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Full 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
