- To study the short term and long term osseous integration of implant supported restorations on immunocompromised (HIV positive) patients. [ Time Frame: Every 6 months after implant restoration complete ]To study the short term and long term osseous integration of implant supported restorations on immunocompromised (HIV positive) patients.
- Radiographic examination of implant osseous integration using Cone Beam CT and traditional vertical bitewing radiographs. [ Time Frame: one year after implant restoration ]Radiographic examination of implant osseous integration using Cone Beam CT and traditional vertical bitewing radiographs.
- Histologic examination of bone biopsies from each implant surgical site, at the time of initial placement, and from failing implant sites, including histologic examination of the implant-bone interface. [ Time Frame: at the initial implant placement surgical site ]Histologic examination of bone biopsies from each implant surgical site, at the time of initial placement, and from failing implant sites, including histologic examination of the implant-bone interface.
