Comparing two implant methods for people needing lower front teeth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of placing dental implants in the lower front jaw for people who have lost all their teeth. It aims to find which method works better for supporting a full denture.

This study compares two types of guided surgery methods for placing dental implants in the back of the jaw (where there are missing teeth). It aims to find which technique works better for patients who need implants in that area.
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.
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 trial compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw when the bone is too thin for standard implants. It may help people who need an implant but have lost bone height.
