ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the survival rate of a specific type of dental treatment known as implant-supported short-span fixed partial dentures (FPDs). This treatment is designed for people who have lost teeth and want to restore their smile and chewing function. The trial is focused on understanding how well these dental implants work in people with certain bone conditions after tooth loss. Participants will be individuals over the age of 25 who have either loose teeth or missing teeth in the lower front part of the mouth, along with a healthy bone structure.

Those interested in participating should be in good health and able to commit to follow-up visits to monitor their dental health. Throughout the trial, participants can expect to receive dental implants that support the FPDs, and they will be closely monitored to ensure everything is functioning properly. It's important to note that people with more severe bone issues or those who cannot attend follow-up appointments will not be eligible for this study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to improve the long-term success of dental implants for those who need them.
