New dental implant study tests which surface helps teeth stay put
NCT ID NCT06034171
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different surface treatments on dental implants in 50 people who had no teeth in their lower jaw. The implants replace missing tooth roots and support bridges or dentures. Researchers measured how well the implants fused with the bone and how the treatment affected quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dental implant with either phosphate or hydroxylapatite surface treatment
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show which surface treatment helps implants fuse better with the jawbone, improving long-term stability.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The implants are for the lower jaw only.

Inclusion Criteria: * complete lack of teeth in the lower jaw * decision of the investigator: the patient is appropriate for implantation, clinical conditions are sufficient (adequate soft tissue and bone conditions and occlusal position;) * the patient's consciousness is clear, understand the planned intervention. * the patient communicates well with the examiner and is able to understand and comply with the requirements of the test plan. * witten informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or lactating women * Women of childbearing potential, unless she uses effective birth control until the completion of the final radiological examination, and for another 4 weeks after that. * A disease (including, but not limited to metabolic, hematological, kidney, liver, lung, neurological, endocrine, cardiac, infectious and gastrointestinal disease), which -in the opinion of the investigator- significantly affects the health of the examined person and/or exposes to an unacceptably high risk the person receiving the implantation treatment. * Malignant disease in the medical history in the preceding 24 months. * Known HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C, or any other considered viral infection relevant by the examiner known at the tome of randomization * A medical or psychiatric illness which, in the opinion of the investigator, excludes that the participant adheres to the protocol, or complete the study according to the protocol. * Participation in an other interventional clinical study within 6 months prior to treatment. * Known allergy to the implant or to the invetigational template or any of its components. * Limitation of mouth opening, which make unpossible to complete the procedure, based on the opinion of the investigator * Increased pharyngeal reflex, reduced ability to tolerate intraoral manipulation * Radiotherapy, previous irradiation of the jawbones * INR \> 2.5 * Immunosuppressed patient * previous or current bisphosphonate treatment * Known alcohol or drug abuse * Heavy smoking (≥ 20 cigarettes per day, or another form of smoking, used in an equivalent amount) * Untreated periodontitis * Local infection of the implant in the planned area * Lack of dental hygiene, e.g. not removed radixes, plaque and calculus, or radiologically detectable potential periapical focus (also in asymptomatic case ) * Insufficient or poor oral hygiene * Transient infectious state, with or without fever
