Comparing two implant methods for lower denture support
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different ways of placing dental implants to hold a lower denture (overdenture). One method is a newer 'osseodensification' technique that helps make the bone denser around the implant, while the other is the standard drilling approach. The goal is to see which method gives better results for people who need a stable, implant-supported denture.

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.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant right after a tooth is removed. One method ('osseodensification') gently compacts the bone, while the other uses a traditional drilling technique. The study wants to see which method gives better bone support and healing.
This trial tests different ways to attach a lower denture to dental implants. It aims to find which attachment type works best for people who need a stable, comfortable denture.
This study compares two types of attachments (a bar versus an OT Equator) for implant-supported dentures in the lower jaw to see which works better. It is for people who have no teeth and are healthy enough for surgery.
This trial tests two ways to attach a lower denture to four dental implants: using four small clips (locators) or a single bar that connects all four implants. The goal is to find which method is more stable and comfortable for people who are completely toothless in the lower jaw.
This trial tests whether dentures held in place by two small dental implants (mini-implants) improve your quality of life compared to regular dentures. It may help if you need new lower dentures and have enough jawbone for mini-implants.
