ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the height of bone around dental implants changes after surgery in patients who have lost all their teeth. Specifically, it compares two types of implant placements: one using a 30-degree angle for the back implants and another using a 45-degree angle. The goal is to understand which method might be better for maintaining bone height over time.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 50 to 65 years old and have healthy gum tissue without inflammation. They must also have enough bone structure for the implants and no serious health issues that could affect the surgery. If you decide to join the trial, you'll have check-ups after your surgery, as well as after receiving your new dentures, at 6 months, and at 12 months to monitor your progress. This study is currently looking for volunteers, and it welcomes people of all genders.
