Study Arms (1)

Dental patients

Patients with an edentulous mandible who are demanding and receiving an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis in the mandible

Device: Dental Implants (Straumann Roxolid® / SLActive®)

Interventions

In this study the 4 mm implants will be inserted in the area surrounding 36/46. The implant diameters will be defined based on the patient's situation. In the interforaminal region, two implants of conventional length with a minimum of 10 mm will be inserted. The implant diameter and the length will be defined based on the patient's situation.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Dental patients of university-based prosthodontic department (primary, secondary, and tertiary care clinic)

You may qualify if:

  • General criteria:
  • Age: 18 to 70
  • Edentulous mandible with reduced bone level in the posterior region (\> 5 mm and \< 8 mm above nerve conduit)
  • Physical and mental condition that allow surgery and a 5-year follow-up period to be carried out without foreseeable problems
  • Obtained informed consent from the patient
  • Specific criteria:
  • Limited vertical space for implant placement, where conventional implants with lengths of more than 4 mm cannot be used
  • Tooth loss or extraction at least 8 weeks before implant surgery
  • Healthy implantation site
  • Favorable and stable occlusal relationship
  • Complete denture in the mandible. If no denture available, an interims prosthesis will be fitted
  • Natural full dentition or sufficient complete or partial dentures in the maxilla

You may not qualify if:

  • General criteria:
  • Any conditions or circumstances which would interfere with the requirements for oral surgery
  • Allergy to any metallic implant component
  • Acute, untreated periodontitis
  • Previous oro-maxillo-facial radiotherapy
  • Any disorders in the planned implant area such as previous tumors or chronic bone disease (e.g., rheumatoid disease)
  • Any ongoing application of interfering medication (steroid therapy, bisphosphonate, etc.)
  • Alcohol or drug abuse
  • Heavy smoking (\>10 cigarettes/day)
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Severe bruxism or other destructive oral habits
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Specific criteria:
  • Need for a major bone regeneration technique
  • Infections in adjacent tissue of the planned implantation site.
  • +2 more criteria
