Guided implant placement: grafted gum tissue versus flapless
This study compares two surgical approaches for placing dental implants in the back of the mouth. It aims to see which method works better for healing and implant success when you have enough jaw bone and no active inflammation.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05126160Recruiting
MRI-based imaging to guide treatment in nasopharyngeal cancer
This study uses special MRI images (and computer “radiomics” scores) to better understand nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment for people with newly diagnosed cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT04007783Recruiting
Test of a new plan for jaw reconstruction and implants
This study checks whether the “O-bridge protocol” helps people who need jaw surgery—either for osteonecrosis of the jaw or for oral/jaw tumors—followed by dental implant placement to support fixed teeth (not removable dentures). The goal is to improve your ability to eat, speak, and get a stable tooth replacement plan after surgery.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05296291Recruiting
Compare titanium, zirconia, and another frame for missing teeth
This study compares three types of dental support frames (titanium, zirconia, and another material) for people missing teeth behind the canine. It may help find which frame works best for stability and successful treatment in that specific area.
GothenburgAges 18–100 - NCT05315791Recruiting
Bone-window dental procedure for missing back upper tooth
This study looks at how to place bone support for an upper back tooth replacement when part of the upper jaw bone is limited. If you’re missing one upper back tooth for at least 3 months, they may use a specific “bone window” approach guided by a 3D scan.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05342792RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo tablets with or without an immune therapy after cancer treatment
This trial tests whether taking the chemo tablet capecitabine after standard chemoradiation can help prevent cancer from coming back, and whether adding an immune therapy (a PD-1 antibody) improves results. It is for people with high-risk nasopharyngeal (throat) cancer whose main treatment has already finished.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05339178Recruiting
Study of quality of life in gum disease patients on maintenance care
This study asks people with periodontitis (gum disease) who are in ongoing maintenance visits after their active treatment. It looks at how supportive periodontal therapy affects quality of life.
ViennaAges 18–130 - NCT03659227Recruiting
Sample collection for serious drug skin reactions
This study collects skin and blood samples from adults who have a serious rash caused by medicines. The goal is to better understand these reactions and how to diagnose them sooner and more accurately.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05362136Recruiting
Sinus lift with different perforations to grow new bone
This trial studies how many small openings (perforations) are made in the sinus floor during a sinus lift procedure, to see which approach helps form more new bone. You might consider it if you need sinus floor elevation on both sides for dental bone support.
ViennaAges 18–120 - NCT04437329RecruitingPhase 3
Nedaplatin vs cisplatin for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy drugs—nedaplatin versus cisplatin—in people newly diagnosed with a specific type of nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see which drug works better and/or has a safer side-effect profile when given as part of standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05375045Recruiting
Dental implant study using a specific implant brand
This study looks at how safe and well EUROTEKNIKA dental implants work in everyday dental care. You may be eligible if you’re an adult getting (or previously received) this specific implant to support a single replacement tooth.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05081258Recruiting
Tests presurgery shaping for newborn cleft lip and palate growth
This study looks at whether a presurgery orthodontic shaping method affects how newborns with a cleft lip and palate grow over time. It may help clinicians decide on the best early treatment approach.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 1 day–2 years - NCT01601171Recruiting
Genetic study of reproductive problems and cleft lip or palate
This study looks at genetic (inherited) causes of certain hormone and reproductive conditions, including Kallmann syndrome and cleft lip/palate. You might be asked for medical and family history and possibly a DNA sample, helping researchers find what drives these conditions.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges Any age - NCT05352321Recruiting
Surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation
This trial compares two treatment plans for newly diagnosed, operable nasopharyngeal cancer: adding surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation alone. It aims to see whether the surgery-based plan improves control of the cancer and related outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05447169Recruiting
Testing blood and DNA checks for nasopharyngeal cancer risk
This study tests an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) blood antibody and an EBV DNA test to help screen people at higher risk for nasopharyngeal cancer. It may find signs earlier in certain families where cancer runs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–62 - NCT05514275RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus endostatin and capecitabine for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding endostatin and capecitabine to standard radiation can improve outcomes for people with non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal cancer that has not responded well to chemotherapy. It may help those with stable or worsening disease after treatment before moving to radiation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT05606562Recruiting
Free dental care during hospital treatment for drug abuse
This study offers free dental treatment to people who are staying in a hospital for drug abuse treatment. It aims to see how adding dental care can help while you’re getting help for substance use.
Narvik, NordlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05628922RecruitingPhase 2
Blood EBV DNA–guided therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a treatment approach for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer using their blood EBV DNA level (a cancer-related virus marker). It may help doctors choose and adjust therapy based on how much of this marker is in your blood after standard treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04713800Recruiting
Dental implant bridge comparison with two implant types
This trial tests two ways of making a small back teeth bridge (a “cantilever” dental implant crown) using different materials. It may help show which material works best when replacing missing back teeth with implant support.
GenevaAges 22 years+ - NCT05664373Recruiting
Gum recession repair using tissue flap and graft
This trial studies a gum surgery technique to cover multiple areas where the gum has pulled back from the tooth root. It may help improve gum coverage and reduce sensitivity by restoring gum tissue where it is missing.
BelgradeAges 18–60 - NCT05674305RecruitingPhase 3
Tested radiation alone vs added chemotherapy for EBV-negative after treatment
This Phase 3 trial compares giving radiation alone versus giving radiation at the same time as chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. It focuses on people whose EBV test becomes undetectable after one cycle of chemotherapy, to see which approach works best and is safest.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04813705RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT-guided lower-dose radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special scan (PET/CT) to guide radiation can safely reduce the radiation dose for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help lessen side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
Taizhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05707819Recruiting
Sintilimab plus chemoradiotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding sintilimab (an immune treatment) to standard chemoradiotherapy can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, locally advanced nasopharyngeal (throat) cancer. It may help your immune system work better against the cancer alongside radiation and chemotherapy.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05707780Recruiting
Testing resin-ceramic crowns for back teeth
This study tests a new type of crown made from resin and ceramic for molars or premolars. If you need a back-tooth crown and your mouth health is in good shape, you may be asked to receive and have it evaluated over time.
