Bone loss around lower jaw implant dentures and bridges
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at bone loss around implants in the lower jaw for two types of tooth replacements: a denture held by 2 implants or a fixed bridge on 4 implants. The goal is to see how much bone is lost around the implants after 5 years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had implants placed in your lower jaw to hold a denture or a fixed bridge.
- If you had a denture, it must be held by exactly 2 implants. If you had a fixed bridge, it must be on exactly 4 implants.
- Your dental prosthesis (denture or bridge) has been in your mouth for at least 5 years.
- You have a dental x-ray of the implants that was taken after the prosthesis was first put in place.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests if a special bridge supported by a single implant can replace three missing back teeth. It may help people who have a large enough jawbone and good overall health.
This trial tests how well two dental implants support a bridge or partial denture in the lower jaw when you have loose or missing front teeth. The goal is to see how long the implants last with different loading schedules.
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.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D after a tooth extraction and immediate implant placement can help reduce bone loss around the implant in the lower jaw. It may be a good fit if you are generally healthy and need a lower back tooth replaced.
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.
