Patients with an edentulous mandible restored with implants who have participated in the core study CR 04/07 will be recruited for this extension study. No further interventions will be made for this extension study other than a clinical follow-up examination and questionnaires. Patients will not receive an investigational treatment in this study. Patients will be followed at 5 to 10 years from the date of the original implant loading
The primary study objective is to compare implant survival with the Titanium Zirconium (Roxolid™) implant compared the Titanium grade IV (SLActive®) implant between baseline (surgery) and 10 years. The following outcome parameters will be evaluated at 5 and 10 years post surgery for the two different implant types Straumann® Bone Level SLActive, diameter 3.3 mm, Titanium-Zirconium (Roxolid®) vs. Straumann® Bone Level SLActive implant, diameter 3.3 mm, Titanium Grade IV: * Implant survival * Implant success according to Buser et al. (1990) * Crestal bone level change measured by Orthopantomogram (OPT) * Soft tissue health * Clinical measurements * Prosthetic parts assessments: Success and maintenance * Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) * Product Safety (Adverse events and device deficiencies)

Implant Survival
This is a long term follow up extension study including evaluations at 5 and 10 years after the implant procedure from the core study. Implant survival will be assessed based on surviving implants for all patients at 10 years.
Time frame: 10 years following implant procedure date
Crestal bone level change
The change in crestal bone level will be measured on standard x-rays taken at 5 and 10 years as per standard of care. An independent reviewer will evaluate all x-rays for the analysis.
Time frame: 5 and 10 years
