Bone Level Tapered Multi-Center Study

Open to people ages 18 years and up

• Subjects must have voluntarily signed the informed consent form before any study related procedures
• Subjects must be males or females who are a minimum of 18 years of age
• Subjects who are in need of a single tooth extraction in the pre-molar or anterior region of the maxilla or mandible (ADA tooth positions 4-13 and 20-29) and replacement with a dental implant.
• Implants must be placed either immediately in an extraction socket or placed in a healed site (greater than 4 months healing) which has not been previously grafted.
• Planned site for implant must have a natural tooth both mesially and distally in the adjacent tooth positions
• Subjects must have opposing dentition (natural teeth, fixed or removable restorations)
• There must be sufficient bone at the implant site to achieve primary stability
• Subjects must be committed to the study and the required follow-up visits
• Subjects must be in good general health as assessed by the Investigator

• Subjects with a systemic disease that would preclude dental implant surgery
• Subjects with any contraindications for oral surgical procedures
• Subjects with mucosal diseases (e.g., erosive lichen planus) in the localized area around the study implant site
• Subjects with a history of local irradiation therapy in the head/neck area
• Subjects with any untreated endodontic lesions or untreated periodontal disease adjacent to the implant site
• Subjects receiving, or having a history of receiving, intravenous or subcutaneous antiresorptive agents, such as bisphosphonates
• Subjects with severe bruxing, parafunctional habits, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction
• Any implant sites where there will be a buccal dehiscence greater than 3 mm or there will be a fenestration of the implant
• Subjects with inadequate oral hygiene or who are unmotivated for adequate home care
• Subjects who have physical or mental handicaps that would interfere with the ability to perform adequate oral hygiene
• Subjects who are pregnant or intending to become pregnant during the duration of the study
• Subjects who are heavy smokers (defined as >10 cigarettes per day or >1 cigar per day) or chew tobacco
• Subjects who abuse alcohol or drugs
• Subjects who have undergone administration of any investigational device within 30 days of enrollment in the study
• Subjects with conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance or unreliability
