Official Title: A Randomized, Prospective, International, Multi-center Clinical Study to Evaluate the Peri-implant Tissue Outcome of Abutment-supported XiVE® CAD/CAM Supra-structures and Directly Implant-support
Brief Summary: This study has been designed in order to collect data with regards to the peri-implant tissue outcome of abutment-supported restoration and direct implant-fixed restoration. Therefore a small group of subjects with partly edentulous maxilla is selected to show that both techniques are efficient and safe and to show comparable peri-implant tissue outcome for both methods. At the time of impression forming for each centre treatment A (= abutment-supported XiVE® CAD/CAM supra-structure) and B (= direct implant-fixed XiVE® CAD/CAM supra-structure) is assigned to the left and right side of the maxilla by being randomized at the time of impression forming.
Detailed Summary:
The planned study profile is to assess the peri-implant tissue outcome of abutment-supported restoration and direct implant-fixed restoration. Two treatments, Treatment A which is the abutment-fixed supra-structure and Treatment B, the direct implant-fixed restoration, are assessed within the scope of this clinical investigation.
Treatment A: The XiVE® CAD/CAM supra-structure is fixed on abutments. The effect of platform-switching which is discussed intensely in the scientific literature is used in order to shift away the connection between implant and supra-construction (interface) from the implant edge and peri-implant tissue and towards the implant centre. However, the implant-abutment-connection area is a potential entry port for micro-organisms which have direct influence on the state of the peri-implant hard and soft tissue and consequently on the long-term prosthetic and implant success [8]. By using an abutment as a connector between implant and supra-structure implies the generation of one more micro-gap (between supra-structure and abutment) and possible retention of microbial plaque though located above the hard tissue level.
Treatment B: The XiVE® CAD/CAM supra-structure is fixed directly on the implants. In contrary to treatment A, only one entry port (micro-gap) for micro-organisms exists: The interface between supra-construction and implant. So, there is one main point where the initial force has main influence on the implant and the peri-implant tissue [8-10]. Besides, this interface lies directly on the implant shoulder level and by that on the osseous level. There is no displacement of the transitional area to the implant centre.

Current Primary Outcome: Mean change of bone level [ Time Frame: 0, 12, 24 months ]
Intra-oral radiographs from implant insertion and at time for prosthesis insertion as well as from 1 and 2-year follow-up visits (calculated from the time of loading) should be taken for evaluation of bone level. All radiographs will be examined by an independent dentist.
For the purpose of this examination XCP film holder (DENTSPLY Rinn, 1212 Abbott Drive, Elgin, Illinois 60123-1819, USA) are individualized for each subject and for each x-ray.
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome: Sulcus-fluid-flow-rate [ Time Frame: 6 weeks, 6, 12, 24 months ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
