Active clinical trials for "Tooth Loss"

Chronotherapy is an emerging field in biomedicine that leverages on fine-tuning the timing of drug delivery to obtain a therapeutic effect. Dr. Tamimi and his team have successfully harnessed chronotherapy using NSAIDs to enhance bone healing in a murine fracture model. Unpublished findings revealed that mice receiving carprofen for 3 days post-fracture exclusively during activity hours exhibited superior bone healing outcomes in comparison to specimens that received the same drug during resting hours. This is a 3-arm RCT aimed at evaluating the effect of different chronotherapeutic NSAID regimens on intraoral bone healing in humans using an extraction socket healing model in the context of an early implant placement protocol. The primary aim is to elucidate whether there are differences in osteogenesis and in the characteristics of the newly formed bone between patients following different post-operative NSAID chronotherapeutic protocols. Secondary endpoints of interest include assessment of alveolar bone and soft tissue dimensional changes between pre- and post-extraction, implant insertion torque, serum CRP levels, wound healing index and patient-reported discomfort at different time points. If proven beneficial, the proposed chronotherapeutic approach could be readily implemented in clinical practice as a standalone therapy or as a valuable complement to existing standard-of-care protocols, due to its simplicity, safety and cost-effectiveness.

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the effects of autogenous dental pulp tissue on bone formation in the extraction sockets as compared to commonly used particulate bone graft. The effects on bone formation will be examined using a wide variety of assays.

Immediately implantation and immediate prosthesis could preserve the alveolar contour and gingival shape. The visiting time is quiet long. Pre-made prosthesis is a way to shorten the visiting time. But the implant has to be placed precisely. Novel digital workflow integrating dynamic navigation or static surgical guide to process one-visit single -implant immediate loading is possible. The study is to compare the x-guide dynamic navigation system or static guide system which one could assist the surgery more accuracy and place the prosthesis more smoothly.

The Straumann Bone Level Tapered (BLT) implant Ø 2.9 mm implant was developed to allow treatment of patients with single tooth gaps of small dimensions in the lateral and central incisor positions in the mandible and in the lateral incisor positions in the maxilla. These positions are reduced-load-bearing compared to more posterior positions. During this study performance and safety of the Straumann BLT implants Ø 2.9 mm in the clinical practice setting will be investigated.

Effect of Topical Application of Hyaluronic Acid on Stability of Immediate Loading Dental Implant in Posterior Maxilla

Patients with missing back teeth can be restored with an inlay retained bridge.The inlay retained bridge designs include inlay shaped, tub shaped or proximal box shaped.In this study a clinical evaluation will be commenced to evaluate two designs the inlay shaped and the tub shaped.The hypothesis of our trial is that the new design may show longer survival rate due to less stress applied on the restoration which allow the restoration to function for longer period as the inlay shaped bridge showed clinical problems during survice.

The goal of this study is to compare clinical and histologically the soft tissue changes in terms of volume gain and stability around dental implants in cases where a subepithelial connective tissue graft from the palate or from the tuberosity is used randomly

In implant dentistry, platform switching is a method used to preserve alveolar bone levels around dental implants. The concept refers to using an implant with slopped shoulder neck of narrower diameter on implants of wider diameter, rather than placing abutments of similar diameter, referred to as platform matching.The aim of the study is to compare the effect of bone-level implants versus the conventional implant on oral soft tissues.

aim of study is to evaluate esthetic and biomechanical outcome of maxillary anterior single-tooth zirconia implant supported PEKK crowns compared to lithium disilicate crowns on PEKK abutments .

Sixty patients with partially edentulous posterior maxilla requiring a transcrestal sinus floor elevation technique to insert one implant will be selected. The purpose of this multi-center, prospective, double blind, and randomized investigation is to analyze a platform switched implant when placed at limited maxillary residual bone height with low bone density compared to a platform matching implant with or without bone graft material.
