Guided implants for lower denture support
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to place four implants in your lower jaw to support a removable denture (overdenture) instead of a fixed bridge. The goal is to see if this guided approach works well and lasts over three years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no teeth in your lower jaw and need dental implants to support a removable denture.
- You have enough jawbone for four implants in a square pattern, confirmed by a special 3D scan.
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You are in good general health with no uncontrolled illnesses like diabetes or osteoporosis.
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, have no history of head/neck radiation, and can commit to follow-ups for 3 years.

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 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.
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 ways to replace all your lower teeth: a regular set of dentures versus dentures held in place by two small implants (mini-implants). The goal is to see which option gives you a better quality of life and comfort.
This study tests a new digital method for making a lower partial denture that is attached to two implants, to improve how your bite feels. The aim is to see if computer-guided bite adjustment makes the denture fit and function better.
This study tests whether regular or narrow dental implants work better for supporting a lower denture in people who have no teeth. It may help improve how well the denture fits and feels.
