Summary

This prospective, randomized-controlled, clinical study evaluates the ability of the NanoTite implant system to achieve integration and provide long-term support of a prosthesis when placed immediately in fresh sinus augmentation material. Control cases will be those where the sinus augmentation material is allowed four months of healing prior to NanoTite implant placement. In addition to implant performance, radiographic evidence of crestal bone regressive modeling will be used to evaluate differences between test and control cases. Study (null) hypothesis: The implants placed into sinus augmentation sites at the time of grafting will have the same integration success and maintenance of integration as for the implants placed after four months of graft healing.
