View clinical trials related to Jaw, Edentulous.
Filter by:According to data from the World Health Organization, approximately 160 million people worldwide are edentulous. The incidence increases with age, and the proportion of edentulous patients is higher in the population aged 60 and above. Loss of teeth or edentulism can affect facial appearance, causing people to feel self-conscious and loss confidence in social situations, and even lead to psychological illnesses. Therefore, edentulous patients not only pay close attention to the recovery of oral function but also attach great importance to facial contour improvement. For a long time, due to technological limitations, clinicians have been unable to depict the changes in facial contour after implant placement for patients before surgery. However, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, deep learning-based methods for predicting soft tissue facial deformation have made this mission a possibility. This study established a multi-modal dataset for edentulous patients before and after implant restoration to lay the foundation for predicting facial contour changes after implant treatment. A graph generative adversarial network based on multi-modal data was proposed to achieve fast and high-precision facial contour prediction. To address the common challenges of slow computation and excessive computational resource consumption in current triangular mesh deformation simulation methods, this project innovatively proposed a graph generative adversarial network that uses multi-modal data and incorporates self-attention mechanisms to achieve fast and high-precision facial contour prediction for edentulous patients after implant restoration.
The study was a prospective, multicentre, randomized parallel controlled clinical trial. Randomisation was conducted by central randomisation, with random allocation codes generated by the main central computer. Enrollment was conducted by competition between different centres. In this study, the coronal, apical and angular deviations (mean, standard deviation, median, quartiles, minimum, maximum, 95% confidence interval) of the static template and dynamic navigation group guided implant placement were calculated. The data is proposed to be analysed using a mixed linear effects model.
This clinical trial aims to compare the performance of CAD/CAM-milled and 3D-printed full-arch implant-supported provisional restorations in patients at the Advanced Implant Prosthetics Clinic of the Complutense University of Madrid, of both sexes, over 18 years of age, edentulous upper, lower or both, whose treatment plan is at least a fixed implant-supported rehabilitation of the complete arch. The main question it aims to answer is if there are differences in the mechanical behavior and optical properties of the materials used as provisional materials in full-arch restorations on implants fabricated by CAD/CAM technology through machining or 3D printing. Participants will: - Receive milled (control material: PMMA; Multilayer PMMA block, HUGE; Shandong Huge Dental Material Corporation) or printed (test material: 3D impression resin; VarseoSmile Temp, Bego Bremer Goldschägerei Wilh. Herbst GmbH & Co. KG, Bremen) and they will be in provisional phase for 3 months doing daily life. Researchers will compare PMMA (Multilayer PMMA block, HUGE; Shandong Huge Dental Material Corporation) and the printed-resin (3D impression resin; VarseoSmile Temp, Bego Bremer Goldschägerei Wilh. Herbst GmbH & Co. KG, Bremen) to see: - Mechanical behavior and the absence of complications, fracture of the structure, material jumping or wear, loosening, or detachment. - Optical properties, initial color, and degradation of the materials used
In dental implant restoration, available literature demonstrates the advantage of using tall abutments, with a change of diameter with respect to the implant and a conical internal connection in the abutment-implant gap. However, for multiple restorations, the abutment-prosthesis connection has not been studied in detail. The "multi-unit" systems, both standard and brand specific, have either a flat or butt joint or an cone. In any case, both are external connection systems. Recently, an internal-type abutment-prosthesis connection system has been developed. Although it is proving its usefulness in single restorations, its use in multiple restorations compared to traditional systems has not been studied. Therefore, taking into account all of the above, the present study has the overall objective of analyzing marginal bone loss (MBL) and adaptation of soft tissues by comparing a multiple prosthesis system of the "external, flat" type versus an external system of the "internal, conical" type.
Dental implants may suffer from bone loss around them, particularly at the upper portion where the prosthesis starts. The connection between both parts of the tooth restoration is key for avoiding micromovement during chewing, bacterial contamination and initiation of bone loss. Thus, investigating factors related to this bone loss in different types of implant-prosthetic connections is key for promoting better use of available therapeutics devices. In this study, we will study marginal bone levels over time as well as bacterial contamination and inflammatory markers in the peri-implant sulcus around implants with connical connection and compare them with those obtained when using implants with internal hexagonal connection. The hypothesis is that bone loss will be higher in implants with hexagonal connection associated with a pathological microbiome in the sulcus that induces a higher inflammatory response.
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.
The primary aim of this study was to compare the acoustic sound quality of edentulous patients rehabilitated with two-implant overdentures or the all-on-4 concept. The secondary aims were to evaluate the effect of implant and prosthetic success on acoustics.
In this case-control study a bioactive implant surface was compared with traditional surfaced implants. Primary objectives: Test the implant stability in post-extractive sites, comparing traditional surfaced implants (MultiNeO CS, control group) to bioactive surfaced implants (NINA- MultiNeO NH, treatment group). Primary outcome endpoints were Implant stability, assessed through Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values and Marginal bone loss (MBL)
Loss of masticatory function consequent to tooth loss is associated with changes in food choices and insufficient nutrition intake. To date, studies showed no significant improvement in nutrient intake with interventions based solely on dental prostheses. Pilot studies have shown positive impacts of interventions combining implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis with brief dietary interventions. The relative contribution and the potential synergy of the components of such interventions need to be determined as it has major public health implications for the community-dwelling ageing population that continues to disproportionately suffer from tooth loss and its consequences. This study tests the effect of rehabilitation of masticatory function with fixed implant supported dentures and diet re-education on the dietary intake and nutrition in older subjects with terminal dentition (stage IV periodontitis) or full edentulism. A 2 × 2 factorial randomized controlled trial of eligible adult (≥60 years) with loss of masticatory function consequent to full arch edentulism or terminal dentition (n = 120) will be conducted to test whether the rehabilitation of masticatory function with fixed implant supported dentures, diet re-education and/or their combination improves the diet and nutrition of ageing subjects. The study has been designed to detect changes in fruit and vegetable intake at 4 months using the 24-hour dietary recall method. Changes in protein as percentage of total energy, nutritional biomarkers, metabolomics, oral and gut microbiome, quality of life and masticatory function will also be assessed.
