DENTAL IMPLANT

This study tests if a magnetic mallet (a tool that uses magnetic force) can place dental implants better than standard drilling in people with soft jawbone. Thirty adults with missing back teeth and soft bone will receive implants using one of the two methods. Researchers will me…

This study looks at two different types of lower dentures that snap onto dental implants in people who have no teeth. The goal is to see which type helps distribute chewing forces better and stays in place more securely. Twenty-four adults aged 60 to 70 with healthy gums and enou…

This study looks at how the gums and bone change shape in the first few months after getting a dental implant. Twenty adults with a missing back tooth will have their implants scanned at different times to track healing. The goal is to better understand normal healing patterns, n…

This study looks at how well bone heals after a sinus lift procedure for dental implants. Ten adults needing a sinus lift will receive either a mix of their own bone and a bone substitute, or the substitute alone. Researchers will check bone healing after 4 months using scans and…

This study looks at whether measuring how hard a person bites can help dentists predict and prevent problems with dental implants. Researchers will measure bite force in 85 adults who already have dental implants and follow them for up to 10 years to see who develops complication…

This study looks at how stable a new one-piece dental implant is right after placement and after healing, comparing the upper and lower jaw. Fourteen people who need implants to replace missing teeth will have their implant stability measured using a special device. The goal is t…

This study compares two similar dental implants from the same brand—one placed at the bone level and one at the soft tissue level—to see which one leads to less bone loss around the implant. About 96 adults who need dental implants will take part. Researchers will measure bone lo…
