Summary

In patients that received a T3 (Biomet 3I) dental implant, does the use of platform-switch concept compared to the use of platform-matched concept, refrain marginal bone loss during osseointegration phase (t=12 weeks =T1) and from then to final rehabilitation (t= placement of the final restoration = at 18 weeks=T2)

Detailed description

Patients from a private practice who received dental implants (T3 dental implant Biomet 3I) from November 2012 to October 2013 were eligible to enter the study. Two groups were formed: one group received a T3 dental implant with platform switch concept and the other received an implant with platform matched type of connection. We evaluate osseointegration at T1 (12 weeks) and marginal bone position in relation to the implant platform at baseline (implant installation) T0 and again at T1 and T2. From data recorder in T0,T1 and T2, we evaluate changes in marginal bone position.

Conditions

• Implants
• Bone Loss

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Dental Implant	place dental implants according to manufacturer guidelines
DEVICE	Platform-Switch Dental Implant	Place Dental Implant with an abutment narrower than the implant platform
DEVICE	Platform-Matched dental implant	Place Dental Implant with abutment with same size as the platform
