The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of implant OsseoSpeed EV compared to implant OsseoSpeed TX with regards to marginal bone level changes and implant survival rate up to five years after implant loading. The hypothesis is that there will be no clinically relevant differences in marginal bone level alterations one year after functional loading.

Marginal Bone Level Change After 1 Year in Use.
Marginal bone level will be determined from radiographs and expressed as the distance from a reference point on the implant to the most coronal bone-to-implant contact on the mesial and distal aspect of the implant. Marginal bone level expressed in millimeters at the 1 year follow-up visit compared to values obtained at delivery of permanent restoration i.e. loading (baseline). Positive value = bone gain, Negative value = bone loss.
Time frame: Evaluated at implant loading and at the 1 year follow-up after implant loading.
Marginal Bone Level Change After 5 Years in Use.
Marginal bone level will be determined from radiographs and expressed as the distance from a reference point on the implant to the most coronal bone-to-implant contact on the mesial and distal aspect of the implant. Marginal bone level expressed in millimeters at the 5 years follow-up visit compared to values obtained at delivery of permanent restoration i.e. loading (baseline).
Time frame: Evaluated from implant loading to the 5 years follow-up after implant loading.
