NCT ID NCT07513155
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different attachment systems (Equator and Novaloc) for lower dentures held in place by dental implants. The goal was to see which one helps dentures stay in place better and improves quality of life for people with no teeth. 26 adults aged 60-70 took part. The results will help dentists choose the best option for their patients.
