Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* male and female patients 18 years to 80 years of age
* no general medical condition which represents a contraindication to implant treatment
* two adjacent missing teeth in the maxilla or mandible in positions of premolars and molars
* at least one tooth present adjacent to the edentulous space
* indication for implant treatment is given
* at least 8 mm of vertical bone height in the mandible allowing for the placement of a 6 mm implant (2 mm safety distance to inferior alveolar nerve)
* at least 4 mm of vertical bone height in the maxilla
* signed informed consent after being informed

Exclusion Criteria

* smoking of more than 15 cigarettes a day (clinical studies show an increased failure rate of implants in heavy smokers)
* poor oral hygiene after hygienic phase (Plaque Index over 30 %)
* active periodontal disease
* pregnancy or breastfeeding at date of inclusion
