Early vs. standard timing for upper jaw implant dentures
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares placing implants in the upper jaw immediately versus waiting for healing, to see which approach works better for people who already wear full dentures. You may qualify if you have no upper teeth and your jawbone is healthy enough for implants without extra bone grafts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 21 years old.
- You have no remaining teeth in your upper jaw (you already wear a full upper denture).
- Any extractions were done at least 4 months ago.
- Your jawbone at the second premolar position is thick and healthy enough for an implant that is at least 3.5 mm wide and 10 mm long, without needing bone grafting.
- You do not have health problems like an uncontrolled endocrine disorder, cancer treated with radiation/chemotherapy, bleeding disorders, or HIV.
