Evaluating Early vs. Delayed Crown Placement on Nobel N1 Dental Implants Effects on Implant Survival and Stability Over One Year

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the survival and stability of the Nobel N1 dental implant and its crown when the crown is placed either 6 or 12 weeks after implant placement. This study focuses on adults missing a single tooth in the back of the mouth. The Nobel N1 implant is FDA-approved and designed with a surgical technique that reduces bone trauma and aims to speed up integration, potentially allowing earlier final crown placement compared to traditional methods. Participants will receive a Nobel N1 implant restored with an On 1 base. They will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will have their final crown placed 6 weeks after implant surgery early loading, and the other group will have it placed 12 weeks after delayed loading. This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial assessing the effects of early loading on implant survival. During the study, participants will be monitored over a one-year period with assessments at 6 months and 1 year. Researchers will evaluate implant survival, bone loss, probing depth, signs of inflammation or infection around the implant, tissue health, patient satisfaction, and any prosthetic complications. Follow-up visits will include clinical evaluations and questionnaires to track outcomes and safety throughout the study duration.
