View clinical trials related to Partial Edentulism.
Filter by:The patterns of tooth loss are evaluated in many selected populations in numerous countries and so the frequency of partial edentulism seems to vary widely between different countries. The prevalence of various patterns of partially edentulous arches should be frequently revised and updated . This could help identify the changing treatment needs of the population and provide guidelines to prevent tooth loss emphasis should be placed on dental education, improve the quality of prosthodontic care being provided to patients oral and general health promotion which should highlight the control of common oral diseases such as caries at their various stages of progression and periodontal diseases. Additionally, regular dental check-ups should be made mandatory at schools, colleges and workplaces and community field trips should be conducted in order that increase in oral health awareness can also discourage patients attitude waiting until acute symptoms develop. According to our knowledge, no available studies investigated the prevalence of partial edentulism among patients in faculty of dentistry Cairo university. Therefore, this study wouldbe of valuable information to oral health planners for proposing strategies that will help dentalhealth care management in faculty of dentistry Cairo,
The aim of the present prospective randomized controlled study is to compare the accuracy of implant placement performed either with a surgical motor or a torque wrench as part of a half-guided surgical protocol after maxillary sinus floor augmentation.
First, the surgical insertion of a ceramic (zirconia) dental implant will be performed in a single-tooth gap according to current state-of-the-art protocols. After a 3-months healing phase, a ceramic tooth replacement (a.k.a. implant crown) will be screw-retained on the implant and will be ready for full chewing, aesthetic and speech function.
The contour of maxillary sinus matters in osteotome sinus elevation. So does the implant intruding angle between the axis of the implant and the tangent line of the sinus floor contour. The investigators have been engaged in studying the relationship between the outcome of bone formation and the intruding angle, which could guide our clinical decision-making.
The purpose of this prospective, open-label, randomized, double arm multicenter study is to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of a newly developed NiTiDent Tuah porous NiTi dental implant (from Nitium Technology Sdn Bhd) in singletooth gap in the posterior mandible 1 year after implant placement and 8 months after implant loading. Second, To investigate the clinical outcome of the interventional dental implant (NiTiDent Tuah Porous NiTi dental implant) compared to control dental implant. The hypothesis is set to no difference in the clinical outcome for the two types of implants based on the outcomes of the primary and secondary endpoints.
This study is a clinical trial to determine the retention and durability of the anterior zirconia wing bridge. The type of zirconia-wing bridge the investigators are researching in this study has two wings which generally have three countersunk holes (meaning that the circumference of the outer portion of the hole is larger than the inner part of the hole). Composite resin (dental filling material) is placed in the holes as well as under and around the wings. Twelve patients will have bridges placed and be evaluated every 6 months (ideally) to determine if the bridge is staying in place (retention) and if it is resistant to fracture (durability).
Tooth-coloured fixed restorations are becoming increasingly popular with patients and dentists. If high-strength all-ceramics such as zirconia are used as the restoration material, a maximum of two adjacent missing teeth can be replaced with the aid of fixed partial dentures (FPDs). For the replacement of a missing anterior or posterior tooth by FPDs, a very good clinical performance similar to that of metal-based, ceramic-veneered restorations can be expected. However, evidence-based statements on the clinical performance of long-span all-ceramic FPDs are difficult because there are only very few studies on this topic, which are also inhomogeneous with regard to the study conditions. Randomized studies to compare monolithic (consisting only of the high-strength framework material) or partially veneered (weaker veneering ceramics in esthetically relevant tooth areas) all-ceramic and classic (completely veneered) metal-ceramic FPDs are lacking. The aim of the current explorative, prospective, randomized, two-arm clinical interventional study is therefore to compare the clinical performance of long-span FPDs (≥ 4 Pontics) made of monolithic / facially veneered zirconium dioxide with a gold standard (completely veneered cobalt chromium (CoCr)-based FPDs). Forty patients will be recruited. Once all inclusion criteria have been established, including the signed informed consent of the patients informed of the content, effort, advantages and disadvantages of the study, patients are assigned to the two study groups by stratified block randomization (main strata: tooth-supported / (tooth-)implant-supported). After placement of the restorations, follow-up examinations are performed after 1 week (baseline) and after half a year, one year, two years and three years. In addition to the main target criterion (veneering defects), further complications (related to FPDs or supporting tissues / structures) and parameters of oral health are recorded. Depending on the distribution and structure of the data, parametric and non-parametric statistics are used. Group differences with respect to the main target criterion ceramic defects are to be investigated by log-rank and chi-square tests. The significance level is set at α < 0.05. Since this is an explorative study, all p-values are descriptive.
Insertion of a metal implant is considered one of the most common surgeries for fracture treatment, joint replacement, and dental implants. The success rate of these implants depends on their fixation which is in turn related primarily on the strength of the bone holding them. Studies evaluating the influence of local application of antiresorptive drugs, like bisphosphonates, on implanted endoprostheses whether orthopedic or dental is increasing annually with more and more experimental studies as well as clinical trials worldwide. On the other hand implants that release medications that enhance bone formation will lead to improved implant fixation and success. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical application of alendronate sodium gel and recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 on dental implant stability and crestal bone level.
This study is to assess socio-economic factors, clinical and virtual precision, patient-centered outcomes, and esthetics during the treatment with monolithic multi-unit iFDPs in a complete digital workflow
A confirmatory dual-clinic, non-randomized study of the Inliant device to aid in dental implant placement in humans. The hypothesis is that using the Inliant Surgical Navigation System ("Inliant") will provide a high degree of accuracy in multiple dimensions relative to the ideal implant position as determined in the planning stage, and will not result in any adverse outcomes related to use of the device. Five clinicians (Investigators) of various clinical backgrounds and experience will use the Inliant device, a licensed, medical device in Canada, to place a dental implant in a total of twenty (20) subjects.
