ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into a type of dental implant called subperiosteal implants, which are used for people who have lost bone in their jaw. Sometimes, when there isn’t enough bone to place traditional implants, subperiosteal implants can be considered as an option. This trial aims to see if using digital technology can improve the success of these implants, which were once thought to be outdated due to poor results.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be adults aged between 18 and 80 years who have partial or complete tooth loss and meet specific bone conditions (Cawood and Howell class IV-VI). Participants will not be eligible if they need more complex surgeries involving bone grafts or other extensive procedures. Those who join the study can expect to receive treatment with the new subperiosteal implants and will help researchers learn more about their effectiveness. This could potentially offer a new option for people struggling with jawbone loss.
