Bone Regrowth Guide for Lower Jaw Implants
This study tests two types of membranes used to grow bone in the lower jaw before placing dental implants. Participation lasts about one year and involves a bone-regrowth procedure to prepare for implants.

3D-printed lower dentures: comparing impression methods
This study compares two ways of making dental impressions for 3D-printed overdentures (removable tooth replacements held by implants). It looks for people who need new lower-jaw implants and are otherwise healthy.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 45 years+ - NCT04927819Recruiting
Extra-short versus standard dental implants in a fixed bridge
This study compares extra-short dental implants versus standard-length implants when they are joined together in the same fixed bridge. It may help people understand which implant type works better for supporting a stable multi-tooth replacement.
Vitoria-GasteizAges 18 years+ - NCT05924386Recruiting
Testing dental implants for jawbone change in full dentures
This study looks at how a specific implant connection (“OT bridge attachment system”) affects changes in the lower jawbone over time in people who have no teeth. You might benefit by getting a fixed All-on-Four style set of lower teeth, with close monitoring of your jawbone and fit.
CairoAges 40 years+ - NCT07190820Enrolling by invitation
Comparing digital vs. traditional dental implant impressions
This study compares digital and traditional methods for taking dental impressions in people who have a full arch of implants supporting a permanent fixed bridge. It aims to see which method is more accurate.
ShanghaiAges 30–80 - NCT07177521Recruiting
Short dental implants after tooth extraction
This study tests whether short implants placed right after a tooth is pulled are stable and work well. It may be a good option if you need a single back tooth replaced and are generally healthy.
BariAges 18–75 - NCT04276246Recruiting
Dental implant supports for removable dentures in back-tooth gaps
This trial tests whether small “supporting” implants can help hold a removable partial denture more securely. It’s for adults missing back teeth on both sides (a specific dental gap pattern) and may improve comfort and fit.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07124416Recruiting
Do gums around dental implants affect health and comfort?
This study looks at how the amount of firm, attached gum (called keratinized mucosa) around a dental implant affects gum health and how you feel about it. It may help you understand if your implant site needs more gum tissue for better long-term results.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–90 - NCT07088172Recruiting
Gum graft timing for dental implants in the lower back jaw
This trial compares two different times to do a gum graft around a dental implant in the lower back jaw. It aims to find out which timing works better for patients who don't have enough thick gum tissue (less than 2 mm).
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06974253Recruiting
Guided Implant Placement for Full Upper Jaw
This study tests a technology that uses a computer-guided system (dynamic navigation) to place multiple implants in the upper jaw of people who have no teeth left. It aims to improve placement accuracy and make the surgery safer.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07065487Recruiting
Comparing two digital scanning methods for full-arch implant teeth
This trial tests two different ways of taking digital scans of the mouth to make a full set of teeth supported by four implants in the lower jaw. It compares a standard scanning method with a new pattern-assisted technique to see which is more accurate.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 30–70 - NCT07034079RecruitingPhase 2
Adding ridges to dentures for better fit and comfort
This study tests adding small ridges (called palatal rugae) to a complete upper denture to see if it makes patients more satisfied and improves their quality of life related to oral health. It may help dentures feel more natural and stable.
Islamabad, IslamabadAges 40–80 - NCT06943846Recruiting
Platelet gel for healing after tooth removal in older adults
This study tests if a gel made from your own blood can help your gums heal faster after a back tooth is removed. It is for patients getting dental care at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Lincoln, NebraskaAges 14–80 - NCT06538870Recruiting
Dental implant healing and TNF-alpha blockers
This study looks at how dental implants heal in people who take TNF-alpha inhibitors (medicines that lower inflammation) compared to those who don't. It aims to see if the drug affects healing after implant surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533397Recruiting
Testing a new bone graft for sinus lifts
This study tests a new bone graft material for sinus lifts, a procedure to add bone in the upper jaw so dental implants can be placed. It may help people who are missing bone in the back of their upper jaw due to enlarged sinuses.
Budapest, BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT06388395Enrolling by invitation
Comparison of PEEK and Conventional Dental Prostheses
This study compares two types of full-arch dental prostheses (PEEK and conventional) placed on four implants in the lower jaw, to see which works better. It may be an option if you need all lower teeth replaced and have healthy jawbone.
Sharjah cityAges 18 years+ - NCT06221306Recruiting
Comparing narrow vs standard dental implants for jaw bone loss
This trial tests whether narrow dental implants can preserve jaw bone better than standard implants with bone grafting in people missing back teeth. If you have a narrow jawbone, this study may help determine which option works best for you.
