Can a new implant thread design improve dental stability?
NCT ID NCT07775443
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial is testing whether the thread design of a dental implant affects how stable it is when placed in the upper back jaw. Adults aged 18-60 who need an implant in that area will be randomly assigned to receive either a double-thread or a triple-thread implant. Stability is measured right after placement using insertion torque and a resonance frequency analysis, with a follow-up check at three months. The goal is to see if one design offers better initial hold, which could influence implant success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- double-thread dental implant and triple-thread dental implant
- What this could lead to
- If one thread design proves more stable, it could guide dentists in choosing implants that are more likely to succeed, especially in the upper back jaw.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Individual bone quality and healing can vary, affecting outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 20-55 years. * Medically healthy individuals without any systemic disease that affects bone healing (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis). * Patients requiring dental implants in the posterior maxilla. * Adequate bone volume for implant placement. * Signed informed consent for participation in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Smokers (due to the potential negative impact on bone healing and implant success). * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Patients with a history of radiotherapy or chemotherapy. * Patients with severe periodontal disease. * Individuals with a history of allergic reactions to implant materials.
