To Compare Cemented Versus Screw-retained Implant-supported Single Crowns With Customized Zirconia Abutments

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Implant-supported Single Crowns
Interventions
Procedure: Screw-retained crowns
Procedure: Cemented crowns
Registration Number
NCT01644630
Lead Sponsor
University of Zurich
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to test whether or not the use of screw-retained implant crowns on customized zirconia abutments results in biological, technical and esthetic outcomes similar to those obtained with cemented all-ceramic crowns on customized zirconia abutments, both made with a computer-aided design and manufacturing procedure (CAD/CAM).

The null-hypotheses is that marginal bone level change is equal at screw-retained and cemented crowns
