ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of short dental implants compared to standard implants in the back part of the upper jaw, especially for patients who have experienced bone loss. Bone loss can make it challenging to place implants, which are artificial tooth roots used to support crowns or bridges. The trial aims to find out if using shorter implants can be a simpler and less invasive option than traditional methods that require bone grafting or sinus lifts.

To participate in this trial, you must be at least 20 years old and have a specific type of tooth loss in the back of your upper jaw, with enough bone height (7-8 mm) and width (at least 6 mm) to support the implant. Unfortunately, smokers and those with certain health conditions or habits that could affect implant success are not eligible. If you join the study, you can expect close monitoring, and your experience will help researchers understand the best ways to improve dental implant procedures for patients with similar challenges.
