Study to Evaluate an Implant With a Sloped Top in Patients With a Sloped Jaw Bone
Summary
The study aims to evaluate maintenance of lingual/palatinal marginal bone with the OsseoSpeed™ Profile implant in sites where the alveolar crest anatomy is sloped in a lingual to buccal direction.
The hypothesis is that the sloped marginal contour of the implant will help preserve the lingual/palatinal marginal bone.
