Study to Compare Marginal Bone Loss Around Implants From Two Dental Implant Systems.

March 14, 2016 updated by: Dentsply Sirona Implants and Consumables

An Open, Randomized Study to Compare Two Dental Implant Systems With Regard to Changes in Marginal Bone Level.

The purpose of this study is to compare marginal bone level changes between ASTRA TECH Implant System; Fixture ST and Biomet 3i; Osseotite® Implants. Subjects with partial edentulism in the posterior maxilla and/or mandible will be included and a one-stage surgical protocol will be used. Implants will be loaded within 15 weeks from installation. The subjects will be followed for 3 years.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Marginal Bone Level Changes
Time Frame: 3 years after implant placement (baseline)
Marginal bone adaptation was expressed as the distance from the implant reference point to the most coronal bone-to-implant contact on the mesial and distal side of the implant. Bone adaptation in millimeters at the 3-year follow-up visit were compared to values obtained at Implant placement (baseline). Positive value indicates bone gain and negative value bone loss.
3 years after implant placement (baseline)
