Survival and Success of MIS C1 Implants- a Field Study

10 implants will be allocated to each of the twelve dentists, for a total of 120 implants. One test implant per patient will be allowed into the study for a total of 120 patients.

The following data will be collected for each patient/implant:

• Patient data including birthdate, health, surgery date.
• Implant length, diameter
• Insertion torque
• Periapical radiographs (at insertion, and twelve months post surgery).
• Post operative complications and adverse events.
• Periodontal data around Ramfjord teeth (16, 21, 24, 36, 41, 44) : Plaque index, Gingival Index, Probing depth in six sites and Bleeding on probing in six sites, at baseline and twelve months post surgery.

Inclusion criteria

• Age between 18-75.
• Patient expresses his wish to restore the missing tooth/teeth with implant therapy.
• Partial edentulism with available bone height for dental implants ≥ 10mm mm.

Exclusion criteria

• Contraindicating medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, untreated malignancies, pregnancy, previous/current bisphosphonate therapy.
• Untreated periodontal disease, untreated caries, periapical pathology in contact with the location of the perspective implant.
• Major bone augmentation in conjunction with implant placement. Localised bone augmentation in conjunction with implant placement, of up to 3 mm on 1-2 aspects of the implant will be allowed.
• One stage immediate loading/restoration.
