- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary outcome parameter<br>The primary outcome variable is the mean marginal bone loss, for which the Marginal Bone Levels (MBL) between placement of the restoration (T0) and after 3 years (T3) are determined from standardized, long cone intraoral radiographs, by measuring from the edge of the implant to the bone-to-implant contact, both mesially and distally.<br>
