Immediate Versus Delayed Loading of Single Posterior Zirconia Implants
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main aim of the present study is to investigate implant success rate after 5 years of function of immediate (Test group; within 7 days of implant placement) versus delayed (Control group; 8 weeks after implant placement) loading of two-pieces zirconia implant, placed in pristine bone without bone regeneration. Implant success rate will be defined according to Buser's criteria. Secondary endpoints: Marginal bone level (MBL) evaluation by means of standardized radiographs; Clinical evaluation of biological (e.g. Plaque Index, PI; Probing Pocket Depth, PPD, Bleeding on Probing, BOP; suppuration upon probing/palpation) and prosthetic/technical complications; Clinical evaluation of soft tissue width, keratinized tissue, marginal and interproximal soft tissue recession; Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) by questionnaire administration:
