Zirconia Implants: Practice-based Evidence

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Immediate dental implants placements on fresh sockets after tooth extraction: Zirconia dental implants (SDS®, Swiss Dental Solution, Kreuzlingen, Switzerland) are to be placed within the fresh extraction sockets. The immediate implants are placed using a minimally invasive technique without vertical releasing incisions. Implant placements are performed following the SDS osteotomy protocol after sulcus marginal and crestal incision or flapless surgery. The same surgeon places implants for all patients. Infected sites are debrided using piezo surgery touch.

Study summary

This study is a prospective case series clinical study to examine the effectiveness of Ceramic dental implants manufactured by Swiss Dental Solutions (SDS). Participants with an indication from the dentist for teeth extraction and replacement are invited to participate in this study. Participating in this study will involve the use of dental implants manufactured by Swiss Dental Solutions (SDS zirconia dental implants), submission of the case data, including pre-operative information, intra-operative details, and post-operative follow-up data, to the study site and its collaborating partners.

The SDS zirconia dental implants used in this research are FDA cleared devices that are available for dental treatments.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Cumulative Survival Rate (CSR) — 12-month follow-up
  The cumulative survival rate is determined as the percentage of implants that remained in place over the observation period for each patient. 100% of survival is defined as absence of implant loss.
