Edentulous Alveolar Ridge

24 patients with missing premolar teeth and healed sockets will be recruited. They will be randomized into two groups to supplied with tissue-level (n=12) or bone-level (n=12) 10-mm long 4-mm wide zirconia implants. Primary and secondary stabilities will be measured with International Stability Quotient (ISQ) device. After 3 months, ceramic crowns will be supplied. Implant survival rates and parameters in relation to periimplant soft-tissues and bone health and anatomy will be recorded and evaluated after 1, 3 and 5 years.

After tooth loss, the alveolar ridge undergoes various modeling and remodeling processes, resulting in overall bone resorption. In case of extensive alveolar atrophy, bone volume must be restored before or during implant placement to achieve successful dental rehabilitation and maximize implant survival and success rates. One possible method for reconstructing severe bone resorption is block bone augmentation. Due to its biological properties, autologous bone is considered the "gold standard" among bone graft materials, as it possesses osteoinductive, osteoconductive, and osteogenic properties. The advantages of using allografts over autologous bone grafts include reduced postoperative morbidity, decreased surgical time, and the absence of anatomical limitations regarding the amount of bone that can be harvested. The disadvantage of allografts is the loss of viable osteogenic cells and osteoinductive factors during processing. The aim of the study is: * to compare the success of the bone augmentation surgery depending on whether freeze-dried bone allograft blocks or autologous bone blocks are used, * compare the microarchitecture of the augmented bone depending on the bone graft material applied, * to evaluate the success of dental implants placed in the augmented bone and that of the prostheses delivered on the dental implants.

This study aims to conduct a cross-sectional study to compare the differences in clinical indices, patient-reported outcomes, and levels of inflammatory factors in peri-implant gingival crevicular fluid between sites with adequate (≥ 2 mm) and inadequate (\< 2 mm) keratinized mucosa after implant restoration, in order to explore the impact of the presence of keratinized mucosa on peri-implant soft and hard tissue health.

The goal of this observational study is to monitor, within a cohort of patients requiring rehabilitation at two different sites in the premolar area, the primary and secondary stability of implants placed with different surface treatments: vacuum-plasma activation, ozonated oil and non-activated implants.

The purpose of the study is to compare soft tissue volume changes in terms of volume gain and stability around dental implants and PROMS in cases where a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) from the palate, Porcine collagen matrix (CM) or Porcine Acellular dermal matrix (PADM) is used after 3 and 15 months after implant placement.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of zero echo time magnetic resonance imaging (ZTE MRI) as an ionizing radiation-free diagnostic method to evaluate both hard and soft tissues and maxillary sinus region before dental implants in the posterior maxillary region.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of provisionalization with a glass fiber composite framework on patient satisfaction and prosthetic complications before the insertion of a definitive PEKKTON framework when used under the screw-retained maxillary implant-supported prostheses at a one-year follow-up period.

The aim of this study is assessing the effect of provisionalization with a glass fiber composite framework on patients' quality of life and bone height changes before the insertion of a definitive PEKKTON framework of screw-retained maxillary implant-supported prosthesis at a one-year follow-up period.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how different materials used in dental implants affect the surrounding gum tissue in adults who need dental implants. The main questions it aims to answer are: How do different materials (titanium, PEEK, zirconia, and lithium disilicate) affect inflammation around dental implants? What changes occur in inflammation markers in the gum tissue after 3 and 6 months? Researchers will compare the different materials to see which one causes the least amount of inflammation. Participants will: Receive dental implants made from different materials. Have samples of fluid from around their implants collected for analysis at 3 and 6 months. Undergo regular dental check-ups to measure gum health, such as bleeding and pocket depth around the implants.
