Primary outcomePrimary: Implant Survival Rate — 89.9 Percentage of implants
Summary
The purpose of this study is primarily to evaluate implant survival rate of Astra Tech Fixture ST placed in the posterior maxilla. A one-stage surgical protocol will be used and the implants will be loaded four weeks after implant installation (early loading). Marginal bone levels, plaque and status of the periimplant mucosa will also be evaluated. The subjects will be followed for three years.
