Testing dental implants for jawbone change in full dentures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no remaining teeth (a completely edentulous lower jaw).
- You are 40 years old or older.
- Your upper and lower jaw spacing is at least 13 mm.
- Your jawbone shows at least 10 mm bone height and at least 6 mm bone thickness/diameter where implants would go.
- You can keep good oral hygiene.
- You must not have conditions that make oral surgery unsafe, or recent head/neck radiation, or certain medicines listed below.

This study compares two methods for securing a lower denture with two implants in the front of the jaw. It aims to find which method works better for comfort and stability.
This trial tests a special technique called 'All-on-Four' for people who need full-arch dental implants. It looks at how the bone around the implants changes over time. If you are in good general health and have a healthy jawbone, this study might help you understand if this approach works well for you.
This study compares patient satisfaction and bone changes around two types of dental implants used to support a removable lower denture. It may help you understand which implant material works best for you.
This study compares two ways to replace all missing teeth in the lower jaw using a special plastic framework called PEEK. One method uses four implants that support a removable overdenture, the other uses a fixed all-on-4 bridge. The goal is to see which lasts better over 4 years.
This study compares two ways to attach a lower denture to dental implants. It aims to find which method gives better fit and comfort for people who have lost all their teeth.
This study tests a new digital method for making a lower partial denture that is attached to two implants, to improve how your bite feels. The aim is to see if computer-guided bite adjustment makes the denture fit and function better.
