Splinting vs not splinting dental crowns on implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of connecting single dental crowns (splinted vs not splinted) on dental implants. It looks at how well the gums and bone stay stable around the implants over time, after the crowns are put in.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in generally good health
- You need fixed implant-supported teeth on the back (premolar to molar area) on both sides
- Your implant area has enough bone for a 4 mm implant and at least 8 mm height
- The back teeth on both sides have been missing for more than 6 months
- You can be followed for 36 months after your new teeth are attached
- You should not need bone or gum grafting at the planned implant spots

This study tests how well dental implants work and how they feel for people missing back teeth. You get fixed implant-supported crowns, and the researchers want to understand your experience and how your mouth functions after treatment.
This trial tests two ways to place a dental implant right after pulling a front tooth that can't be saved. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root (called a socket shield) and places a temporary crown right away. The other method waits a few months before placing the implant.
This study compares two procedures used to prepare dentures for people who have no teeth in the upper jaw. It aims to see which approach works better and causes fewer problems during and after dental implant placement.
This trial compares two types of artificial tooth restorations (made from resin or zirconia) placed on dental implants that have already fused with your jawbone. The study tests how well these 3D-printed restorations work and last over time.
This trial compares two different attachment systems for people who have major problems with their upper and/or lower dentures, or who want implant-supported replacement teeth. It may help your smile and chewing by improving how the replacement teeth stay firmly in place.
This study compares two types of dental implant surfaces to see which helps the implant bond better with the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a single front tooth or first premolar replaced.
