Overview
The goal of this cohort observational study is to compare in the survival rate of ceramic dental implants placed in patients with missing or hopeless teeth . The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
- Are there any significant differences in survival rate between the use of one-piece ceramic implant versus the two-piece (TL) variant?
- What are the complications associated to the procedure and differences between the two groups.
