Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Test implant Nanotite implant	Device: Dental implant Nanotite root form titanium dental implant Other Name: Nanotite
Placebo Comparator: Control implant osseotite implant	Device: Dental implant Osseotite Root form titanium dental implant Other Name: Osseotite

Detailed Description:

This multicenter, prospective, randomized-controlled study will compare the performance of the Nanotite vs. the standard Ossotite implants when placed by graduate students with little or no prior experience. Enrolled patients will have the study site(s) randomized to either a Nanotite (test) or an Osseotite (control) implant. The manner of treatment observed at the participating center will be followed for this study.

Study Hypothesis: The performance of the Nanotite implant in this study will be no different than or superior to that of the Osseotite implant placed during the early period of graduate student training.
