- Buccal Soft Tissue (Gum) Changes, Measured as Mid-buccal Gingival Zenith (GZ) Scores. [ Time Frame: Evaluated at time of loading (permanent restoration) and at the 5-years follow-up after loading ]
Soft tissue response was evaluated by measuring it clinically and by evaluating it from clinical photographs using image analysis. Clinical evaluations of gingival zenith were performed at time of loading (permanent restoration) and at the 5-year follow-up after loading.
The vertical distance from the most apical aspect of the soft tissue margin to the incisal edge of implant crown was measured using a standardized periodontal probe to the nearest half millimeter using the surgical loupe. The changes in the gingival zenith was calculated for each study position and the average for each treatment group was calculated for the evaluation period.
- Marginal Bone Level Alterations [ Time Frame: Evaluated at time of implant installation and at the 5-year follow-up visit. ]Marginal Bone Level determined from radiographs and expressed as the difference from a reference point on the implant to the most coronal bone-to-implant contact on the mesial and distal aspect of the implant. Marginal Bone Level expressed in millimeters at the 5-year follow-up visit compared to values obtained at time of implant placement.
- Evaluation of the Periimplant Mucosa Condition - By Assessment of PPD [ Time Frame: Measured at time of loading of permanent restoration and at the 5-year follow-up. ]
Condition of the periimplant mucosa by assessment of probing pocket depth (PPD).
Change in pocket depth expressed in millimeters at the 5-year follow-up visit, compared to values obtained at delivery of permanent restoration, i.e. loading (baseline).
Negative value = increased pocket depth.
- Evaluation of the Periimplant Mucosa Condition - By Assessment of Change in BoP. [ Time Frame: Measured at the implant loading and at the 5-year follow-up after loading. ]Condition of the periimplant mucosa by assessment of Bleeding on Probing (BoP). Presented as change in proportion of surfaces that show presence of BoP, measured from implant loading to the 5-year follow-up visit.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Provision of informed consent
- At least 18 years
- In need of one or more single implants replacing missing or non-restorable teeth in the maxilla within region 14 to 24
The following should be considered at inclusion but can not be fulfilled until at Visit 2:
- Edentulous for at least 5 months at study site
- A buccal-lingual bone width at study site of at least 5.5 mm
- A mesial-distal bone level distance between adjacent teeth at study site of at least 5.5 mm
- A keratinized mid-buccal mucosal height of at least 2 mm at study site
- Teeth adjacent (mesial and distal) to study site must consist of two stable teeth on natural roots without signs of periodontal bone loss (>1 mm) and/or significant soft tissue loss
- Teeth adjacent (mesial and distal) to study site must demonstrate a stable occlusal guidance that will allow non-functional disclusion in all eccentric positions
- An opposing dentition with teeth, implants or prosthesis
Exclusion Criteria:
- Insufficient interocclusal distance for implant placement and restoration at study site
- Tooth adjacent (mesial and/or distal) to study site is ankylosed
- More than 2 mm vertical bone loss at study site as measured from the mid-buccal crest of bone on the adjacent teeth
- Site development (bone tissue) performed at less than 5 months before Visit 2 at study site
- Untreated rampant caries and/or uncontrolled periodontal disease
- Class II division 2 malocclusion (Edward Hartley Angle)
- Use of tobacco within last 6 months
- Uncontrolled diabetes (subjects history does not reveal the absence of control of insulin-dependent/non-insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus)
- Current alcohol or drug abuse
- Systemic or local disease or condition that would compromise post-operative healing and/or osseointegration
- Use of any substance that will influence bone metabolism
- Need for systemic corticosteroids or any other medication that would influence post-operative healing and/or osseointegration
- History of radiation in the head and neck region
- Known pregnancy, pregnancy tests will be performed as per local requirements.
- Unable or unwilling to return for follow-up visits for a period of 5 years
- Unlikely to be able to comply with study procedures according to Investigators judgement
- Involvement in the planning and conduct of the study (applies to both Astra Tech staff or staff at the study center)
- Previous enrollment or randomization of treatment in the present study.
