15-year study on implant-supported upper dentures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.

This trial compares two ways to attach an overdenture (a type of removable denture) to dental implants in the upper jaw: using a metal bar or using locator attachments. If you have no teeth in your upper jaw and need better stability for your denture, this study might help determine the best option for you.
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 procedures used to prepare dentures for people who have no teeth in the upper jaw. It aims to see which approach works better and causes fewer problems during and after dental implant placement.
This study looks at how well dental implants work and how healthy the mouth stays more than 10 years after implant placement. The goal is to learn about implant success and any gum or bone changes over time.
This trial compares two different attachment systems for people who have major problems with their upper and/or lower dentures, or who want implant-supported replacement teeth. It may help your smile and chewing by improving how the replacement teeth stay firmly in place.
This study looks back at people who received short dental implants in the back of the upper or lower jaw. It aims to see how well these implants work over 5 years using check-up x-rays.
