Active clinical trials for "Jaw, Edentulous"

The study involved 28 edentulous patients (20 female/8 males; average age of 67.75± 8.627 years) rehabilitated with 33 prostheses (17 all-on-4/16 all-on-6) supported by 164 implants.

This study will identify and enroll patients already scheduled to receive guided maxillary implant placement with palateless overdenture. Standard clinical practice will be followed for this multi-stage process. The study purpose is to evaluate the degree of satisfaction during the standard progression in order to determine at which post edentulous stage patients achieve maximum satisfaction using the Oral Health Impact Profile 49 (OHIP 49).

The amendment to Clinical Protocol 86-D-0015, clinical study of Oral Endosseous Titanium Implants in Edentulous subjects, and patients with Ectodermal Dysplasia is to allow the Investigators to determine: (1) If placement of Endosseous Titanium Implants in pre-adolescent patients (age 7 to 10) will influence the growth and development of the craniomandibular complex. (2) The final position of the implant, the ability to fabricate prosthesis. (3) Body image, diet and perceived ease of chewing selected foods. Selection of patients for participation in the study will be based on the number of congenitally missing teeth associated with Ectodermal Dysplasia. At least 16 permanent teeth must be congenitally missing. A total of 30 patients will be included. A consent to participate in this study will be obtained from each patient: 18 & older - consent signed by patient 13-17 years - consent signed by parent, assent signed by patient 7-10 years - consent by parent, assent signed by child if capable of understanding or note on chart describing procedure used to obtain the child's assent to the study

The aim of this study is to compare the ball attachment to the locator attachment regarding the OHRQoL (oral health related quality of life) for completely edentulous patients retaining a mandibular overdenture with a midline placed implant

Objectives: To compare the stability of implant surface treated by dual acid etching (Porous)and implants with anodized surface (Vulcano) over a period of 16 weeks after installation. Methods: it will be a clinical study with individuals with missing teeth requiring rehabilitation with dental implants in the maxilla and that fulfill the study inclusion criteria. The research sites will be randomized into two groups: the control group patient's sites receive implant surface treated by dual acid (AR Torque Porous, Connection Implant Systems, Aruja, Brazil) and in the test group implants with anodized surface (AR Torque Vulcano-Actives, Connection Implant Systems, Aruja, Brazil). The evaluation of the stability of the implants will be made over 16 weeks, through resonance frequency analysis with Osstell (Integration Diagnostics AB, Gothenburg, Sweden). Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative.

the purpose of this study is to clarify the rationale for the choice of the upper or lower jaw for positioning the occlusal splint

To investigate the prevalence and risk factors for peri-implant disease in partially edentulous patients rehabilitated with implants supported crown or bridge so as to provide evidence for clinical prevention and control.

This study aims to investigate the accuracy of complete-arch digital implant impression using newly designed scan bodies with extensional structure.

Osseointegrated root form implants have been applied successfully in treating fully and partially edentulous patients and patients with single tooth missing. However, the success rate of osseointegrated dental implants was not as good in patients with poor bone quality. The reasons are believed that poor bone quality reduces the initial stability of dental implants and then reduces the success rate. For increasing initial stability of dental implants, some technical modifications are suggested in literature. However, due to lack of an objective method to evaluate bone quality, they are controversial. The purposes of this clinical study are to develop a standard procedure which using cutting resistance measured by Osseocare in surgery to evaluate the bone quality and to compare with the clinical experiences of oral surgeons. The objective outcome, initial stability of dental implant, is measured with Osstell. The analyzed results are also helpful for less experienced surgeons.
