One implant, three teeth: new bridge design under study
NCT ID NCT06099717
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of dental bridge called the T-bridge, which uses just one implant to replace three missing back teeth. Researchers want to see how well the implant and bridge hold up over time. The study will include 50 adults who are missing three adjacent teeth and meet specific jawbone requirements.
