About this trial
The overall aim is to evaluate the patient-reported outcome and efficiency of replacing posterior teeth with implant-supported crowns compared to RDPs and no treatment. Sub-aims are to evaluate a new 3D-methods for registration of occlusion and to test two crown designs.
Thus, the study design has three aims:
* To analyze patient perception including OHRQoL, when missing posterior teeth are replaced with implant-supported crowns compared to removable dental prostheses (RDPs) or no replacement. * To develop and validate new 3D digital methods for assessing occlusal contacts between upper and lower jaw and to analyze the methods relation to masticatory ability and efficiency. * To compare the difference in biological technical outcomes between splinted and non-splinted implant-supported crowns over time.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Partially edentulous subjects with missing posterior teeth (Kennedy class I or class II) in the upper or lower jaw, in need for fixed implant-supported crowns to replace the missing teeth are offered to be enrolled if they fulfill the following inclusion criteria. The participants must be in good health and with no contraindications for undergoing dento-alveolar surgery.
Disqualifiers
Untreated or active, progressive periodontitis
Intake of (high dose) antiresorptive medicine or earlier medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw
Therapeutic radiation to the head and neck
Uncontrolled diabetes or systemic corticosteroids
