Active clinical trials for "Jaw, Edentulous"

This Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up study aims to document the success and survival of the Axiom® BL X3 Implants up to 3 years after loading.

In both full and partial tooth loss, the usage of dental implants for an artificial replacement for missing teeth is a well-known and reasonable treatment modality that leads to high patient satisfaction and enhanced life quality. (1) In both full and partial tooth loss, the usage of dental implants for an artificial replacement for missing teeth is a well-known and reasonable treatment modality that leads to high patient satisfaction and enhanced life quality Because there is insufficient bone volume to support the dimensions of the implants, the horizontal deficiencies of the alveolar ridge obstruct implant-supported rehabilitation, which has an impact on the ultimate prosthetic outcome from both a functional and cosmetic standpoint (2). The split crest technique reduces treatment time, the number of surgical procedures required, and even the risk of complications for the patients, making it more readily accepted by them. It also allows dental implants to be installed in the same surgical procedure and does not require a donor area to remove the graft. (3) In this study, patients underwent rehabilitation of posterior missing teeth in the narrow mandibular ridge by dental implant after ridge splitting by osseodensification, piezosurgery, or magnetic mallet.

Objectives: Passive fit of screw retained frameworks is essential to avoid biological and mechanical failures in addition to transmission of unfavourable stresses to the bone-implant interface. However, Several factors contribute to the passive fit of screw retained prosthesis such as relative parallelism between the implants, implant number, impression material, impression technique and method of prothesis fabrication. The current study aims to evaluate the accuracy of three different impression techniques on the fit of screw retained bar splinting two inter-foraminal implants. Methods: The study presents evaluation of the passive fit of screw retained bar fabricated with three different impression techniques.

The aim of this prospective cohort study is to compare the esthetic, clinical and patient-centered outcomes following immediate and delayed implant placement protocols.

Older removable denture wearing adults suffer from a complex set of oral health challenges, with relatively few solutions identified at this time. This is substantiated by statistics concerning the geriatric population on the correlation of poor oral health and the degradation of an individual's overall quality of life. The most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data found that 1 in 8 U.S. adults over the age of 65 are completely edentulous. A shift from complete edentulism to partial edentulism was also seen in this survey data, as the average individual over 65 had only 21 teeth remaining. Thus, partial edentulism remains a significant burden on seniors as well. Clearly, there exists both a great need and desire for improved implementation of proven oral-health strategies among this population, as well as the development of new preventive interventions and minimally invasive treatment strategies beyond traditional denture adhesive products. This proposed clinical trial intends to investigate two such potential treatment aids. In follow-up from our recent pilot study investigating MI Paste's application on the intaglio of complete dentures, in which our current findings have shown that the use of MI Paste can predictably increase the buffering capacity of a patient's saliva, our current proposal targets to further increase the study's sample size to improve the statistical power regarding subjective patient reports. The primary aims of this proposed study are to collect further data on how MI Paste affects patients' subjective evaluations of the comfort and retention of their denture, as well as dry mouth symptoms in patients reporting xerostomia. Furthermore, this study will include a second therapeutic intervention, Biotene Dry Mouth Gel (OTC), which will provide an additional contrast variable involving patient preferences regarding therapeutics under their removable prostheses. We hypothesize that the use of both therapeutics underneath removable dentures will provide added retention and stability to the prosthesis on patient reports, further coinciding with improved evaluations of comfort and function. Additionally, we hypothesize that the subjective improvements in patients self-reporting xerostomia will be of a statistically greater magnitude than those noticed by patients with normal salivary function, as xerostomia has been associated with increased denture discomfort in past literature.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate changes in marginal bone levels and soft tissue dimensions around implants placed with the IAI at different positions in relation to the alveolar crest

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of prosthetic survival of the Acuris conometric concept 1 year after permanent restoration, since this is a new mode of retention using friction for seating the crown of single tooth restorations without using cement or screws.

This will be a prospective, randomized multicenter study to determine the safety and efficacy of the T3 Certain Tapered with DCD as compared to T3 Certain Tapered without DCD. All implants will be placed in the maxilla or mandible in a single stage manner and loaded with prosthesis after 6 weeks of healing. Final restorations will take place no later than 4 months following implant placement surgery. The implants will be evaluated yearly for 2 years.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of implant survival of the PrimeTaper EV implant in single tooth restorations 1 year after permanent restoration.

This clinical study will evaluate the safety and performance of the T3 short dental implant when placed in the posterior maxilla and mandible.
