DENTAL IMPLANT

This study tests two surgical methods to improve gum thickness around dental implants in people with severe upper jawbone loss. Four participants will receive both techniques on opposite sides of their mouth to see which provides better healing and stability. The goal is to reduc…

This study is testing a new device called the Straumann Falcon, which acts like a GPS for dentists placing dental implants. It helps them see exactly where their tools are during surgery. The goal is to see if this system leads to more accurate implant placement compared to doing…

This study looks at whether applying a 1% metformin gel around dental implants can improve how well they stay in place and how much bone grows around them. About 34 adults who need a dental implant will be split into two groups: one gets the gel, the other does not. Researchers w…

This study tests whether adding a growth factor (rhPDGF) to a standard bone graft helps rebuild jawbone better than using saline alone. About 44 adults who need dental implants but have thin jawbone will receive one of the two treatments. Researchers will measure new bone formati…

This study looks at whether placing a permanent crown on a Nobel N1 dental implant just 6 weeks after surgery works as well as waiting longer. Researchers will enroll 50 adults missing a single back tooth. They will check implant survival, bone loss, and gum health over time.

This study tests whether adding a small gum graft to bone grafting makes front tooth implants look more natural. About 28 adults needing a single front tooth implant will be randomly assigned to get bone grafting alone or with the extra gum graft. Researchers will measure gum col…

This study looks at people who have lost a lot of bone in their upper jaw and need special cheekbone (zygomatic) implants to support false teeth. Researchers want to see if using a metal surgical guide is more accurate than a plastic one when placing these implants. Each particip…

This study tests three different dental implant surfaces to see which one best preserves the bone around the implant and gives the best look. Thirty-nine adults needing a tooth replaced will get one of the three implant types. Researchers will measure bone changes and patient sat…

This study looks at how quickly people can bite and slide their teeth when wearing a lower denture held in by either two regular-sized implants or four smaller mini-implants. Researchers will measure the time it takes to close the bite and to slide the teeth apart. The goal is to…

This study tests which method is more accurate for placing dental implants: a custom-made guide or a dynamic navigation system that shows the dentist where to drill on a screen. Twenty healthy adults with at least one missing upper tooth will take part. The goal is to see which a…

This study gathers information from routine dental implant treatments at a specialist clinic to see how well implants work and how satisfied patients are. About 300 patients will take part, and their anonymous data will be used to improve future care. The goal is to learn from re…

This pilot study compares immediate versus delayed dental implant placement after tooth extraction. Researchers will measure healing-related molecules in saliva and gum fluid over 30 days in 24 adults. The goal is to understand how timing affects early healing, which could guide …

This study is testing whether a 3D X-ray (CBCT) can help dentists see if the jawbone has healed enough for a dental implant after a sinus lift procedure. Twenty-five adults who need a sinus lift for an implant will get a 3D scan right after surgery and again 6 months later. The g…
