View clinical trials related to Jaw, Edentulous.
Filter by:On of the main fixed prosthetic options of completely edentulous patients is the screw-retained implant supported prosthesis which was constructed on transmucosal abutments with its encountered problems such as: hardness to make it passively seated with multiple screw fracture and loosening problems and multiple encountered veneer material fracture and so there effect on patient satisfaction with multiple maintenance recalls.so, the investigators want to try a new technique of fabrication which was proposed for reducing the problems of lack of passivity which is the intraoral luting cement technique on titanium bases with reduced screw number but, with luting cement problems as de-cementation and cement biological effects on soft tissues and bone and there effect on number of patient recall visits and maintenance and so there effect on patient satisfaction
This study aims to evaluate the levels of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors in peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) during healing and osseointegration at osteotomy sites prepared either with piezosurgery (PS) or drills (D). Fourteen patients having bilateral partial edentulism in the posterior maxilla were enrolled and 38 osteotomies were prepared. Implants were placed with one-stage surgery. Insertion torque, early healing index, probing depth and modified gingival and plaque indices and crestal bone (CB) loss were measured. PISF was collected from 4 sites from each implant at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24. PISF samples were analysed by a 30-Plex immunoassay. Effect of time and osteotomy method on molecules employed Brunner-Langer method.
The aim of this study is to clinically and radiographically compare the performance of short (6 mm-long) versus long (≥11 mm-long) dental implants placed in the interforaminal region of fully edentulous mandibles, supporting a screw-retained full-arch cantilever bridge.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare histological and histomorphometric results of six bone substitute materials used as graft in two-stage maxillary sinus augmentation model, after 6-month-healing.
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the soft and hard tissue changes of immediate implant placement with buccal bone augmentation in sites with thin labial bone wall in the anterior maxillary zone.
In this prospective case series study, 20 patients with an implant-borne single crown following early implant placement with simultaneous contour augmentation will be followed for 10 years. Clinical, radiologic, and esthetic parameters will be assessed. In addition, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be used at 10 years to examine the facial bone wall and compared to the 6 year data.
The objective of this explanatory mixed methods study is to compare a novel attachment system (Novaloc) to a traditional alternative (Locator) for single implants in the mandible of edentate elders. The investigators will carry out a randomized cross-over clinical trial comparing Novaloc attachments to Locators for single-implant mandibular overdentures in edentate elders. Participants will be followed for three months with each attachment type; patient-based, clinical and economic outcomes will be gathered. A sample of 26 participants is estimated to be required to detect clinically relevant differences in terms of the primary outcome (patient ratings of general satisfaction). Participants will choose which attachment they wish to keep, then be interviewed about their experiences and preferences with a single implant prosthesis and with the 2 attachments. Data from the quantitative and qualitative assessments will be integrated through a mixed-methods explanatory strategy. A last quantitative assessment will take place after 12 months with preferred attachment; this latter assessment will enable the observation of attachments' long-term wear and maintenance events.
The trial is designed as a consecutive enrollment prospective one-center study. A minimum of 30 patients will be included in the study. At implant installation, the implant will be randomized to one of the groups (Control: conventional loading, 8 weeks; Test: early loading, 4 weeks). Samples of peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) and intrasulcular plaque will be collected at -14, 0 (Baseline: prosthesis delivery), 7 days and 1, 3, 6, 12 months. Prosthesis will be fabricated and delivered as usual, i.e., approximately two weeks after the impressions are taken.
The trial is designed as a consecutive enrollment prospective one-center study. A minimum of 30 patients will be included in the study. At implant installation, the patient will be randomized to receive one of the two types of implants (Control: internal hexagon connection implants (CON.INT); Test: Morse taper connection implants (MT-12)). Samples of peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) and intrasulcular plaque will be collected at -21 (second-stage surgery), -14 (impressions), 0 (Baseline: prosthesis delivery), 7 days and 1, 3, 6, 12 months. Prosthesis will be fabricated and delivered as usual, i.e., approximately two weeks after the impressions are taken.
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
