Replacing missing back teeth to improve blood sugar control
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether replacing missing back teeth (molars) can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes that is not well controlled. If you are missing most or all of your back teeth)Skip, you might be eligible to see if getting new molars can help lower your HbA1c.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes that has been diagnosed for more than 6 months.
- Your blood sugar control is measured by an HbA1c level between 7.5% and 10.5%, meaning it's not well controlled.
- Your diabetes treatment has been stable for at least 3 months (no new pills or major insulin dose changes).
- You have all your front and premolar teeth (up to second premolars) on both top and bottom. Missing premolars due to orthodontic treatment are okay, and teeth replaced with fixed bridges or implants count as present.
- You have no functioning molar pairs, or only one functioning molar pair (back teeth) — wisdom teeth don't count.

This study tests two different types of dental implants to see which one works better for people with type 2 diabetes who need a single tooth replacement. It aims to find if one implant is more successful than the other over time.
This trial compares two types of dental implants (variable-thread and standard) for replacing a single missing back tooth. It aims to see which implant works better for long-term stability and healing.
This study compares two types of surfaces on dental implants to see which one works better for people with and without type 2 diabetes. If you're missing a tooth and are healthy enough for an implant, you may be able to participate.
This study compares two types of dental implants (narrow and standard width) for replacing a single missing back tooth (molar). The goal is to see how well narrow implants work in areas where the jawbone is not very wide, offering a less invasive option for eligible patients.
This trial is testing a type of dental implant for people missing one or more teeth in the back of the jaw. It aims to see how well the implant holds up over time and whether the surrounding bone stays healthy.
This study tests how well dental implants work and how they feel for people missing back teeth. You get fixed implant-supported crowns, and the researchers want to understand your experience and how your mouth functions after treatment.
