Dental implant showdown: which prosthesis makes patients happier?
NCT ID NCT07632885
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of dental prostheses—milled bar and screw-retained—for people with severe upper jawbone loss who receive custom subperiosteal implants. Twenty participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two prostheses and followed for one year. The goal is to see which design leads to higher patient satisfaction and fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Maxillary subperiosteal implant with either milled bar-retained or screw-retained prosthesis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help dentists choose the better prosthetic design for patients with severe jawbone loss, improving comfort and reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants and a short one-year follow-up, so results may not apply to all patients or predict long-term outcomes.
