Snap-on denture made from a strong plastic for older adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new plastic material (polyoxymethylene) to make a telescopic denture—a partial denture that snaps onto your remaining teeth. It is for people aged 65 and older who have lost several teeth but still have some healthy teeth to support the denture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You have some missing teeth but still have some natural teeth left (subtotal tooth loss)
- Your remaining teeth that will hold the denture are strong and healthy (good bone support and enough tooth structure)
- You do not have jaw joint problems or clench/grind your teeth
- You do not have active gum infections or abscesses around your remaining teeth

This trial tests a new denture design for people who still have some teeth in their upper jaw. It aims to help you eat and speak better.
This trial tests partial dentures made of a special plastic (PEEK). It may be an option if you need a removable partial denture held by clasps.
This study looks at how well a specific type of fixed partial denture works over about 3 years. It may help people missing two back teeth next to each other by improving comfort and chewing with a stable dental replacement.
This study compares two ways of making a special denture (called a telescopic overdenture) that snaps onto your remaining teeth. It tests whether a stiffer or a more flexible inner part works better for holding the denture in place.
This study tests whether three new denture adhesives help people who have a full upper denture (false teeth on the top) and some natural or false teeth on the bottom. You will try each adhesive and also a period with no adhesive to see how well your denture stays in place.
This study tests whether a specific denture design feature (palatal rugae patterns) affects how satisfied patients are with their new complete dentures and their quality of life. Complete dentures replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
