The purpose of this study is to evaluate survival for ASTRA TECH Implant System, OsseoSpeed™ implants following immediate loading in extraction sockets versus immediate loading in healed ridges. Patients in need of single standing implants replacing teeth in the maxilla within zone 15-25 will be included and followed for 5 years. Primary objective is implant survival rate at 12 months.

Implant Survival
An implant that has failed to osseointegrate, lost its osseointegration or fractured was considered a failure effective from the date of removal. The survival rate for individual implants was analyzed at each visit. Cumulative implant survival rate was calculated using Kaplan-Meier life-table estimation and reported as percentage of survived implants.
Time frame: 12 months after implant placement
