ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two types of dental implants: a ceramic implant made of zirconia and a traditional titanium implant. The goal is to compare how well these implants perform and how safe they are over a period of five years for people who have lost a single tooth. The study will involve patients who have had a dental implant placed in a specific area of their mouth and will use modern digital technology to assess the results.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have already received a single tooth replacement with one of the study implants. They should be willing to attend follow-up visits and allow their data to be used in the study. However, individuals who are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or have certain health issues that might interfere with the study are not eligible. Participants can expect to receive careful monitoring and support throughout the study, helping to ensure their safety and the accuracy of the results.
