• Implant site has had alloplastic grafting procedures.
• Presence of a disease that affects bone metabolism, such as but not limited to: hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, congenital connective tissue disorders (e.g., osteogenesis imperfecta), or Paget's disease.
• Participation in a clinical study that may interfere with participation in this study during the implant surgical phase and healing 4 months following placement.
• Self-reported current tobacco use
