Single implant to hold lower denture on preferred chewing side
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a single dental implant placed in the canine area of your preferred chewing side can better stabilize your lower denture. It may be an option if you are at least 60 years old, have full upper and lower dentures that fit well or can be adjusted, and have healthy jawbone in the front area.
