This study tests a new scanning method for people who have no teeth in either jaw. It aims to see if the scan is accurate enough to use for planning dental implants, which could help you get a better-fitting set of teeth.
This trial tests whether cleaning around a single dental implant with a water flosser reduces gum inflammation better than regular cleaning. If you have one implant and healthy gums, this could help you keep your implant healthy.
This study compares two different materials for a full-arch hybrid prosthesis (a fixed set of teeth) supported by four implants in the lower jaw. The goal is to see which material keeps bacteria from sticking and keeps the gums around the implants healthier.
This study compares different cleaning methods for dental implants that have an infection around them (peri-implantitis). It aims to find the best way to clean the implant surface to help it heal and be preserved.
This study looks at the inside surface of full-arch dental bridges that are screwed into implants. It aims to understand how this surface affects the health of the surrounding gums and bone.
This study compares different tools for cleaning between the teeth around a single back dental implant. The goal is to see which device best reduces gum inflammation (mucositis) around the implant.
