Summary

This trial looks at a new way to seat crowns on teeth without using cement or screws, to see how well it works after a year.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 needing a dental implant in specific positions of the jaw, with adjacent teeth or implants. They must understand and consent to the study, be likely to have stable implant placement, and commit to follow-up visits for five years. Exclusions include major bone grafting needs, non-compliance risks, recent head/neck radiation therapy, uncontrolled oral diseases or diabetes, certain medication use that affects healing/osseointegration, heavy smoking (>10 cigarettes/day), and recent participation in conflicting studies.
What is being tested?
The Acuris conometric concept is being tested for single tooth restoration without cement or screws. It uses friction to secure crowns on natural roots or implants. The study aims to assess how well these restorations survive after one year.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, potential side effects may include discomfort at the site of implantation, inflammation around the new crown due to friction-based retention method used by Acuris™ system compared with traditional methods.
