Comparing two types of dental implants for lower jaw dentures
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have no teeth (complete edentulism).
- You must be between 35 and 65 years old.
- You need enough jawbone (at least 11 mm) in the front and side areas for implants.
- The space between your upper and lower jaw must be 12–14 mm.
- You cannot have habits like grinding or clenching your teeth.
- You should not have any severe jaw misalignment, TMJ problems, or conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or osteoporosis.
- You must be a non-smoker and not have a history of drug abuse or radiation to the head or neck.

This study compares two types of bar attachments for a lower denture that snaps onto dental implants. It may help you get a more stable and comfortable denture if you have no teeth in your lower jaw and have enough bone for implants.
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 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 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 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 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.
