Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Subjects with a healed, single-rooted tooth (except mandibular incisors) that has previously undergone ARP-SG with anorganic bovine bone mineral graft
Subjects must have stable occlusion, with absence of caries or other known acute pathology (i.e., untreated endodontic lesion, periodontal abscess, external/internal resorption, etc.) on teeth proximal to the implant site that would negatively influence implant outcomes
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks

Study Summary

This trial is comparing different time intervals for healing before getting an implant. Subjects will visit the University of Iowa College of Dentistry 9 times over 42-48 months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a healed single-rooted tooth (except lower front teeth) that's had bone grafting. They must be healthy enough for dental procedures, have signed consent, and commit to multiple visits at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, or those with severe bone diseases or on certain medications affecting bone metabolism cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study evaluates the AstraTech Implant System Evolution implants' stability and tissue outcomes over three years when immediately fitted with a temporary crown after grafting. Participants will undergo various assessments including oral hygiene checks and pain evaluation across nine visits spanning up to four years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort or pain from dental procedures, infection risks around the implant site, inflammation of gums, bleeding during probing of gums, possible recession of gum tissue around the implant area, and issues related to occlusion (bite) adjustments.
