ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying different techniques for preparing the jawbone to support dental implants in people who have lost teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jaw to hold replacement teeth. Sometimes, patients may not have enough bone in their jaw to support these implants, which can make getting them more complicated. This trial is looking at a method called ridge splitting, which uses techniques like osseodensification, piezosurgery, and magnetic mallet to create more space in the jawbone. The goal is to make the process easier, faster, and safer for patients, allowing them to get their dental implants in a single procedure without needing extra bone grafts.

To participate in this trial, patients should be between the ages of 65 and 74, be able to attend follow-up appointments, and have enough bone width and height in their jaw for the implants. They should not have any serious bone health issues or conditions that could affect their healing. If someone is interested in participating, they can expect to have their jawbone prepared and dental implants placed during the same visit, which can lead to better outcomes for their missing teeth. This trial is currently looking for participants, and it aims to improve the experience for those needing dental implants.
