Dental implant surface study for people with and without type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of surfaces on dental implants to see which one works better for people with and without type 2 diabetes. If you're missing a tooth and are healthy enough for an implant, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to give written consent.
- You need to have lost at least one tooth in your upper or lower jaw and have enough bone to place a dental implant (minimum sizes vary by location).
- Smoking is allowed, but you'll be grouped by how much you smoke (non-smoker, up to 10 per day, or more than 11 per day).
- You must have good oral hygiene, with a plaque index of 25% or less at the time of surgery.
- If you have type 2 diabetes, it must be well controlled (HbA1C between 6% and 10%) and you must have had it for at least 2 years. If you don't have diabetes, you'll be in the control group.

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 study compares two different ways to place dental implants in people who are missing at least two teeth. It aims to see which method works better for long-term success.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant after having a single upper tooth removed: placing it right away or waiting a few months. Some people also get a bone-grafting procedure to preserve the jawbone. The goal is to see which approach helps the implant heal best and keeps your smile looking good.
This study tests a special healing cap placed right after a tooth is removed and an implant is put in. The goal is to keep the bone and gums healthy around the implant for a better long-term result.
