UV light vs standard dental implants for jaw healing
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether treating dental implants with ultraviolet (UV) light before placing them helps them heal better and stay stable compared to standard implants. It may be a good fit if you are missing teeth in the back of your lower jaw and are in generally good health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need to replace at least two missing teeth at the back of your lower jaw.
- You have enough jawbone to support the implants.
- You are willing to follow the dentist's care instructions and attend all follow-up visits.
- You do not smoke.
- You are not taking bisphosphonate medication (IV or by mouth) for bone health.

This trial tests if a special UVC light treatment on dental implants helps them heal better. It may be an option if you need a dental implant with or without bone or gum surgery.
This trial compares two types of dental implants—a special 'hydrophilic' surface implant and a standard titanium implant—to see which one helps your jawbone and gums heal better and stay stable. If you need to replace two or more missing teeth in your lower jaw, this study might offer you a newer implant option.
This trial compares two types of dental implants (variable-thread and standard) for replacing a single missing back tooth. It aims to see which implant works better for long-term stability and healing.
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 tests two types of dental implant surfaces to see which works better. It may be a good fit if you need one or more missing teeth replaced and are generally healthy.
This trial tests if taking vitamin D improves how well dental implants bond with the jawbone in people with low vitamin D levels. It may help strengthen the implant integration.
