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.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that 4 or 6 implants with a bar are a reliable long-term solution for upper dentures.
What could go wrong
This is an observational follow-up, not a new treatment test. Results may not apply to all patients, and some implants might fail over time.
