NCT ID NCT07439237
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows up with 116 people who got dental implants to support their upper dentures 15 years ago. Researchers will measure bone changes around the implants, check how many implants and dentures are still working, and ask patients how satisfied they are. The goal is to see if this treatment holds up well over the long term.
