Study on OsseoSpeed™ Implants Replacing 2-5 Teeth in the Posterior Upper Jaw, Restored With Provisional Teeth Attached 6-7 Weeks Later

The purpose of the study is to evaluate Astra Tech Dental Implant System, Fixture Osseospeed™, in patients with tooth loss in the posterior maxilla in an early loading protocol. Primary objectives are implant stability, marginal bone adaptation and survival rate.

Primary outcomes

Implant Survival Rate

Time frame: At 5 year follow-up

An implant that has failed to osseointegrate, lost its osseointegration or fractured was considered a failure effective from the date of removal. The survival rate for individual implants was analyzed at each visit. Cumulative implant survival rate was calculated using Kaplan-Meier life-table estimation and reported as percentage of survived implants.
Implant Stability

Time frame: At 1 year follow-up

Implant stability was evaluated using Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA). The RFA value was automatically translated into an Implant Stability Quotient index (ISQ), which runs from 1 to 100. The ISQ value indicates the level of stability. Low values (<60) indicate low stability, medium values (60-70) indicate medium stability and high values (>70) indicate high stability.
Marginal Bone Adaptation

Time frame: At baseline (loading) and at 5 year follow-up

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 follow-up visit were compared to values obtained Baseline (loading). Positive value indicates bone gain and negative value bone loss.
