DENTAL IMPLANTS

This study looks at whether a special blood product called L-PRF, made from a patient's own blood, can help bone heal better after a tooth is pulled. Forty adults who need a single tooth extracted and later a dental implant are split into four groups: natural healing, L-PRF alone…

This study tests a new triple-abutment system for dental implants that allows three replacement teeth to be supported by just one implant. Thirty adults missing three adjacent teeth will receive the implant and be followed for up to 18 months. Researchers will check bone levels, …

This study tests whether microneedling, with or without a growth factor injection, can thicken the gum tissue around dental implants. Twenty people with thin gums will receive either the growth factor alone or microneedling plus the growth factor. The goal is to see if this simpl…

This study tests if adding platelet-rich fibrin (a natural healing concentrate from your blood) to a standard gum graft can improve gum thickness and reduce pain around dental implants. About 22 people with thin gums will be followed for 6 months. The goal is to see if the combin…

This study compares two ways to numb the jaw for dental implant surgery: a nerve block and local infiltration. The goal is to see which method works better, causes fewer side effects, and leads to less pain after surgery. 42 adults needing implants in their lower back teeth will …

This study tests whether four small, one-piece dental implants placed in the lower jaw and loaded immediately can improve denture satisfaction and quality of life more than the standard two-piece implant approach. About 72 elderly patients with complete dentures who are unhappy w…

This study looks at 103 CT scans of the front lower jaw to measure bone thickness and shape. The goal is to help dentists plan immediate dental implants more safely and avoid injuring nearby structures. No treatment is given—it is purely an observation to gather better data for f…

This study looks at patients who got dental implants with a sinus lift procedure 20 to 25 years ago. Researchers will check their implants and take X-rays to see how the bone has held up over time. The goal is to understand the very long-term success of these implants. About 40 p…

This study looks at how well different materials preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, before placing a dental implant. Forty adults will receive either a dentin graft, a dentin graft with hyaluronic acid, an allograft, or no graft. After 4 months, a small bone sample is …

This study looks back at 100 adults who got dental implants to see if the angle of the crown above the implant affects how the bone and gums heal. Researchers will use X-rays and 3D scans taken during routine care to measure these angles and track changes over one year. The goal …
