Loading criteria 1	Loading criteria 2
• Sufficient oral hygiene • At least 1 mm bone volume around the implant^a • No major dehiscence (<3 mm) or other bone defects at the implant site • Bone quality I–III • Adequate insertion torque (≥15 Ncm during placement of the healing cap) • Suitable implant position • Dental radiograph shows three threads of implant fixture	• Sufficient oral hygiene • No rotational movement of the implant^b during abutment connection at 15 Ncm • No moderate or severe pain at the implant site during abutment connection at 15 Ncm • Suitable implant position • Dental radiograph shows three threads of implant fixture
