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:

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Immediate loading zirconia implant

Loading of zirconia dental implant within 7 days after implant placement

Device: Zirconia implant
(Test group; within 7 days of implant placement) versus delayed (Control group; 8 weeks after implant placement)

Active Comparator: Delayed loading zirconia implant

Loading of zirconia dental implants after at least 2 months of healing

Device: Zirconia implant
(Test group; within 7 days of implant placement) versus delayed (Control group; 8 weeks after implant placement)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Implant success rate according to Buser's criteria [5 years]

    presence of subjective complaints related to the area of treatment; recurrent infections in the peri-implant region accompanied by suppuration; mobility of the implant fixture
