Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients requiring 2 simple dental implants.
At placement the implant collar design will be randomly allocated: "BioHorizons internal tapered" or "BioHorizons internal tapered plus". Both implants have a laser microgrooved collar, that is 12 and 8 µm grooves on the coronal ~1-2 mm of the implant body. The "internal tapered plus" has a platform switched design between the abutment and implant in addition to the laser microgrooves.
One of each will be placed in each patient.
The implants are then placed according to routine protocols by periodontics registrars, who are fully qualified general dentists, with a minimum of 1 years post-graduate training already completed. These implants are placed during the same procedure. These procedures being un-altered from routine implant placement should take the average required time of 1-2 hours. These procedures, and adherence to intervention fidelity will be overseen and confirmed by the head of the discipline in Periodontics and Implantology.

Statistical methods / analysis
The statistical analysis will be carried out by a professional statistician. The statistical unit will be mean values and standard deviations based on implants. The data will be analyzed using the paired Student’s t-test with confidence at 95% and statistical significance set at p<0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
This trial aims to explore the clinical outcomes of commonly used dental implant designs on the market. The tissue stability around dental implants is associated with aesthetic and biological success. Both designs have independent evidence suggesting the potential to increase tissue stability. Patients from the Griffith University Dental School requiring two implants fulfilling criteria will be offered inclusion in the study. The study will involve monitoring routine parameters during associated procedures and recalls; along with the addition of a one off non-invasive dental plaque sample. It is expected that both implant designs will show at least equal results to industry standards if not benefits. Although, there is limited data directly comparing these designs in the literature, this study aims to reduce that void.
