One vs. two implants for lower dentures
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares using one implant versus two implants to help keep your lower denture in place. If your upper denture fits well but your lower denture is loose, you may be able to get a more stable solution.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have no teeth in your upper and lower jaw, and your current dentures are at least 3 months old but no more than 2 years.
- Your upper denture fits fine, but your lower denture is loose or unstable.
- You have enough bone in your lower front jaw for an implant, and you don't need a bone graft.
- You are willing to be randomly assigned to get one or two implants and to come for follow-up visits.
