Dental implant

This study tests whether a magnetic mallet—a tool that uses controlled electromagnetic pulses—can place dental implants more stably and with less trauma than conventional drilling in people with soft jawbone (type D4 bone). Thirty participants with missing teeth in the upper back…

Researchers compare two small attachments placed on dental implants during surgery: a cover screw or a healing abutment. Fifty healthy non-smoking adults who need a dental implant join the study and are assigned to one of the two groups at random. The team measures bone levels ar…

This study is testing whether a 3D X-ray (CBCT) can help dentists see if the jawbone has healed enough for a dental implant after a sinus lift procedure. Twenty-five adults who need a sinus lift for an implant will get a 3D scan right after surgery and again 6 months later. The g…

This study will look at existing dental records to see how the angle of a molar implant compares to the natural tooth it replaced or the matching tooth on the other side. No new participants will be enrolled. The goal is to understand typical differences in positioning, which may…

This study watches how the gum and bone around a new dental implant change during the first few months of healing. Twenty adults with a missing back tooth will get an implant and then have scans and exams at four different times. The goal is to better understand normal healing, n…

This study looks at whether artificial intelligence can help dentists plan where to place dental implants in people who have lost all their lower teeth. Researchers will use old CT scans to compare AI-generated implant plans with plans made by expert dentists. The goal is to see …

This study looks at how stable a new one-piece dental implant is right after placement and after healing. It involves 14 people who need implants to replace missing teeth. Researchers want to see if the implant's position in the upper or lower jaw changes its stability, which hel…

This study looks at how well the jawbone heals after a sinus lift, comparing two types of bone graft material: a mix of the patient's own bone with a synthetic material, versus the synthetic material alone. Ten adults needing dental implants will be randomly assigned to one of th…

This study compares two types of dental implants—bone-level and tissue-level—to see which one leads to less bone loss around the implant. Researchers will place implants in 20 adults who need tooth replacement and measure bone loss over time. The goal is to help dentists choose t…

This study looks at whether measuring how hard you bite can help predict and prevent problems with dental implants. Researchers will follow 85 adults with dental implants for up to 10 years, measuring their bite force each year and checking for complications. The goal is to creat…

This study looks at two different types of lower dentures held in place by dental implants in adults aged 60-70. The goal is to see which design distributes bite force more evenly and stays more securely in the mouth. Researchers will use special devices to measure bite balance a…
