Spain30 participantsStarted 2015-09-15

Plain-language summary

Objective: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare ceramic and titanium implants with respect to the esthetic and clinical parameters, and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Material and methods: Thirty patients received thirty implants (8-12 mm in length, 3.3 mm diameter and a tissue level design) to replace the absence of a single tooth in the anterior maxilla. Patients were randomly allocated to receive a ceramic or a titanium implant. Esthetic and clinical parameters and PROMs were evaluated 18 months after surgery.
