Inclusion Criteria

Males and females with at least 18 years of age.
- Single tooth gaps at least 7.5 mm wide in maxilla or mandible (#1-#7 FDI) allowing the placement of a single implant. Adjacent mesial and distal tooth must be natural tooth.
- Adequate bone quality and quantity at the implant site to permit the insertion of a zirconia implant.
- Opposing dentition must be natural teeth or fixed restoration.
- If patient undergo a large bone augmentation (with autogenous bone block) a delay of 3.5 months must elapse before implantation.
- Patient has been informed of the follow-up visits and is willing to return to the clinical center for these follow-up visits.

Exclusion Criteria

- Free-end situations
- Systemic disease that would interfere with dental implant therapy (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes)
- Patients who smoke >10 cigarettes per day or cigar equivalents, or who chew tobacco
- Cardiovascular disease
- Coagulation disorders (including taking anticoagulants)
- Metabolic bone disease
- Chemotherapy or radiation treatment
- Chronic inflammation
- Metabolic or systemic disorders associated with lesions and/or bone healing
- The use of pharmaceutical products that block or modify bone healing
- Uncontrolled para-functional diseases (bruxism, clenching or grinding of teeth)
- Insufficient inter-arc gap
- Intraoral infection
- Insufficient coverage of the soft tissue
- Disorders that impede the ability of patients to maintain adequate oral hygiene
- Conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance or unreliability

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Implant survival and success at 12 months post-loading.<br>Success criteria according to Buser and the use or radiographs. Evaluation of any complications and adverse events.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in bone level, changes in soft tissue, aesthetical outcome, patient satisfaction - all at 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 months post-loading and all by evaluating the following parameters:<br>-mesial/distal bone contact at implant (radiograph)<br>-Papilla score (Jemt)<br>- Soft tissue recession (Grunder)<br>- Pink and White esthetic score (Belser)<br>- Volume of soft tissue (intra-oral scan)<br>- Plaque assessment (PPI)<br>- Bleeding on probing (BOP)<br>- Modified gingival index (MGI)<br>- Porbing pocket depths (PPD)<br>- Width of the keratinized mucosa (KM)<br>- Matrix-metalloproteinase 8 (immunology)<br>- Patient satisfaction (PROMs)
