Clinical and radiographic evaluation of bone remodeling around implants with two different surfaces placed in horizontally augmented bone: a 1-year prospective study.

Description :

A total of 30 implants will be inserted, 15 from each surface type. A cover screw is placed in order to submerge the implants during the healing phase. Second stage surgery for uncovering of the implant and installment of the healing abutment is performed at 3 months. Prosthetic crown delivery (screwed) will be at 3 to 4 months post implant placement. Follow-up measurements will be done at 6 months and 1 year post-loading at least.
