Research summary
Background and purpose of the study
In this study we want to evaluate the function of a newly developed implant-prosthetic procedure for replacing single teeth. The new feature for this procedure is that the crown will be fixed by means of friction instead of commonly used cement or screws. This feature could possibly lead to easier handling when attaching crowns.The implant will be surgically placed and an abutment will be attached to the implant. The abutment works as a connection between the implant and the crown. Depending on the specific dental situation, we will decide appropriate healing time and the permanent ceramic crown will be attached after that. The implants ( Astra Tech Implant System®, Ankylos®, XiVE®) and the abutments (Acuris™) used in this study are made of titanium, a metal that is well tolerated by the human body and has been successfully used in dental implants for more than 40 years. All components used in this study are available on the market and CE-marked.
Approximately 150 other patients will take part in this study, at 9 different dental clinics in Europe and USA. The study compromises a 5 year follow-up from baseline, permanent restoration, and includes 11 visits.REC name
