Zirconia implants under the microscope: jawbone changes revealed
NCT ID NCT07323290
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 40 adults with full-arch zirconia dental implants to measure bone changes around the implants over 12 months. Researchers compared outcomes between upper and lower jaws and looked at how jaw shape and implant spacing affected bone loss. The goal was to gather knowledge, not to test a new treatment.
