Partial edentulism

This observational study follows 161 adults with partial tooth loss who receive Certain Prevail dental implants. Researchers track how well the implants integrate with the bone and whether they preserve crestal bone and soft tissue compared to standard implants from earlier studi…

This trial tests a zirconia wing bridge, a false tooth with two wings bonded to the back of neighboring teeth, as a way to replace a single missing front tooth. About 8 people with one missing front tooth will receive the bridge and be checked every 6 months to see if it stays fi…

This study tested a new type of dental implant called T3 to see if it helps preserve the jawbone better than a standard implant. Forty adults who needed dental implants took part. Researchers checked how well the implant stayed in place and how much bone was kept over time.

This clinical trial is testing whether dental implants can be placed at the same time as a sinus lift procedure, or if it is better to wait four months for the graft to heal first. The study involves adults who need sinus augmentation to support dental implants in an upper jaw wi…

This study compares two types of dental implants in people who need a short-span fixed bridge (fewer than four implants). One implant has a lateralized design intended to preserve the crestal bone around it, while the other is a standard version. The goal is to see whether the la…

This trial tests whether short dental implants can work as well as standard implants placed after sinus surgery for people with limited bone height in the upper back jaw. Participants have partial tooth loss and a shallow sinus floor that would normally require a sinus lift proce…

This trial compares two types of dental implant surfaces—Nanotite and Osseotite—to see which one integrates more successfully when placed by graduate students learning implant surgery. The study includes adults who already need dental implants for missing teeth. The goal is to fi…

This study looks at whether a specific dental implant can hold a temporary bridge right after being placed, so patients don't have to wait months for a permanent restoration. Researchers will follow 75 adults with missing back teeth who need a short bridge. The main question is w…

This trial tests whether a dental implant with a special lateralized design (Osseotite Certain Prevail) preserves more bone around the implant than a standard version. About 100 adults who need a short fixed bridge to replace missing teeth will receive one of the two implant type…

This trial tests whether a plastic-like material called PEEK, used to make partial dentures with digital design and milling, can match or beat traditional metal dentures. Thirty adults with missing lower back teeth on both sides will receive one type of denture. Researchers will …

This trial tests whether using just one guided drill (a pilot hole) followed by freehand drilling is as accurate as using a full set of computer-guided drills for placing dental implants. Researchers will compare the final implant position against the planned position using 3D sc…

This study looks at how much the plastic clasps on a type of partial denture wear down when they rub against either natural teeth or zirconia caps. Ten adults with missing back teeth on both sides of the lower jaw will be split into two groups. Researchers will use special micros…

This study compares two ways to place dental implants in the upper front teeth area: one that involves cutting and lifting the gum (flap technique) and one that does not (flapless technique). Sixteen adults who have been missing a tooth in that area for over a year will receive a…
