An implant that has failed to osseointegrate, lost its osseointegration or fractured was considered a failure effective from the date of removal. The survival rate for individual implants was analyzed at each visit. Cumulative implant survival rate was calculated using Kaplan-Meier life-table estimation and reported as percentage of survived implants.

Per protocol analysis presented, this includes implants loaded 0 to 56 days from implant placement (80 implants in 32 patients), of these three implants failed during the 5 year follow-up period.

Implant stability was evaluated using Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA). The RFA value was automatically translated into an Implant Stability Quotient index (ISQ), which runs from 1 to 100. The ISQ value indicates the level of stability. Low values (<60) indicate low stability, medium values (60-70) indicate medium stability and high values (>70) indicate high stability.

Per protocol analysis presented, this includes implants loaded 0 to 56 days from implant placement (80 implants in 32 patients). At 1-year follow-up, 32 patients were still in the study and thus evaluable for the analysis.

Marginal bone adaptation was expressed as the distance from the implant reference point to the most coronal bone-to-implant contact on the mesial and distal side of the implant. Bone adaptation in millimeters at follow-up visit were compared to values obtained Baseline (loading). Positive value indicates bone gain and negative value bone loss.

Per protocol analysis presented and this includes implants loaded 0 to 56 days from implant placement (80 implants in 32 patients). At 5-year follow-up, 27 patients were still in the study and thus evaluable for the analysis.
