A Follow-Up Study of Straight and Tapered Dental Implants in the Front Upper Jaw

April 16, 2026 updated by: Branemarkkliniken

A Prospective Clinical Follow-up Study of Straight and Tapered Dental Implants Placed in the Anterior Maxilla

This prospective study aims to evaluate 5-year clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes of implant-supported crowns and bridges placed on Neoss implants (ProActive Straight and Tapered) in the anterior maxilla (region 13 - 23). The study is conducted at Brånemarkkliniken, Public Dental Service, Västra Götalandsregionen, Sweden. While the treatment involves established methods and CE-marked devices, long-term data for this specific indication are limited.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to conduct a 5-year follow-up of implant-supported crowns and bridges placed on Neoss implants (ProActive Straight and Tapered) in the anterior maxilla (region 13 - 23).

This is a prospective, single-center clinical follow-up study evaluating implant-supported prosthetic restorations in the anterior maxilla. Eligible patients receiving crowns or bridges supported by Neoss implants (ProActive Straight and Tapered) will be followed for 5 years.

The treatment is based on established methods and CE-marked devices routinely used in clinical practice. However, long-term data for this specific indication are limited, and prospective follow-up is considered to be of clinical relevance.

Clinical, radiographic, digital, and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed at prosthetic delivery (baseline), and at 1-year and 5-year follow-ups. The study aims to evaluate the performance of Neoss implants (ProActive Straight and Tapered) as support for single crowns and bridges after 5 years, with respect to complications, function, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Signed informed consent to participate in the study. Adults ≥18 years of age requiring an implant-supported crown or bridge in the anterior maxilla (region 13-23).

No prior bone augmentation required at the implant site. The implant site must be free from signs of infection.

Exclusion Criteria:

Individuals under 18 years of age. Individuals unable to provide informed consent due to disease, mental disorder, impaired health status, or similar conditions.

Presence of systemic or local disease/condition contraindicating implant treatment.

Lack of availability for follow-up visits over the 5-year study period. Previous radiotherapy to the head, neck, or jaw region. Untreated or uncontrolled periodontitis and/or peri-implantitis. Use of immunosuppressive medication. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Severe alcohol and/or substance abuse.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Implant-Supported Crowns and Bridges on Neoss Implants (ProActive Straight and Tapered)
Participants will receive implant-supported crowns or bridges supported by Neoss implants (ProActive Straight and Tapered) placed in the anterior maxilla as part of routine clinical treatment. Prosthetic rehabilitation will be performed following standard clinical procedures, and participants will be followed for 5 years to assess clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes.
Device: Neoss Implant System (ProActive Straight and Tapered)
Participants will receive implant-supported crowns or bridges supported by Neoss dental implants (ProActive Straight and Tapered) placed in the anterior maxilla. Implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation will be performed according to standard clinical procedures using a commercially available CE-marked implant system. The implants serve as support for fixed prosthetic restorations, and participants will be followed for 5 years to evaluate clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: Baseline, 1 year, and 5 years
Absence of implant loss during the study period.
Baseline, 1 year, and 5 years

Time Frame: Baseline, 1 year, and 5 years
Change in marginal bone level around implants as assessed by radiographic evaluation using standardized, anonymized radiographs. Measurements will be performed by an independent examiner.
Baseline, 1 year, and 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
