Effects of Early Loading Protocol on the Survival of the Nobel N1 Implant System: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans
Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether N1 dental implants are successful when a final crown is placed on them at 6 weeks from implant placement surgery.
Description
This study aims to evaluate the survival and stability of the Nobel N1 dental implant and its accompanying crown over a one-year period when the crown is placed either 6 or 12 weeks after implant placement. The Nobel N1 implant is an FDA-approved, newly designed implant featuring an innovative surgical placement protocol intended to minimize bone trauma, promote faster integration, and potentially allow for the placement of final crowns earlier-at 6 weeks instead of the traditional 4 to 5 months. This study will enroll adult participants who are missing a single tooth in the back of the mouth.
