Materials and Methods: Inclusion criteria were two missing teeth in the lower jaw distal of the incisor. No augmentation procedures and a planned fixed restauration. In all patients one straight Astra implant (3.5 or 4.0 mm) and one conical Astra (4.5 or 5.0 mm) were inserted. 18 centers participated and included 125 patients with 318 implants. Panoramic X-ray images were taken at 5, 12 and 24 months.
Results: Mean insertion depth at implant insertion was 0.18 mm subcrestal for straight implants and 0.27 for conical implants. One implant loss was observed. The table lists mean radiologic bone resorption in mm:
