TL;DR: It can be concluded that after an observation period of 5 years, high survival rates for implants and implant-supported SCs can be expected, however, biological and particularly technical complications are frequent.

TL;DR: Zirconia abutments offered sufficient stability to support implant-supported single-tooth reconstructions in anterior and premolar regions and were favorable to peri-implant hard and soft tissue reaction as well as fracture resistance over time.

TL;DR: It is concluded that failing implants show a continuous decrease of stability until failure, and low RFA levels after 1 and 2 months seem to indicate an increased risk for future failure.

TL;DR: The present prospective multicenter study indicates that the prefabrication, on the basis of models derived from three-dimensional oral implant planning software, of both surgical templates for flapless surgery and dental prostheses for immediate loading is a very reliable treatment option.

TL;DR: The applied immediate loading protocol in combination with a slightly tapered implant and a modified implant surface texture was shown to be a successful treatment alternative even in regions exhibiting soft bone.
