Comparing different implant abutment connections for dental prostheses

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial compares various configurations of implant abutment connections in screw-retained fixed dental prostheses to assess their clinical and radiographic outcomes. It involves a randomized controlled design with patients receiving two internal connection dental implants to replace three missing posterior teeth in the mandible. Participants will be divided into two groups, one receiving engaging abutments and the other non-engaging abutments, with outcomes measured over time for bone levels, complications, and patient satisfaction. The study aims to identify which configuration results in fewer complications.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adult patients with edentulous span in the posterior mandible of 3 missing teeth.
* Candidates for an implant supported FDP in the posterior mandible.
* Teeth in area of interest extracted at least 3 months prior.
* Bone grafting not needed or only minor GBR needed.
* Controlled oral hygiene.
* Sufficient bone volume.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with edentulous span of less than 3 missing teeth (not eligible to receive a 3 unit 2 implant supported FDP)
* Patients with healing period of extraction sites less than 3 months.
* Extensive bone grafting required prior to or during implant placement.
* Active Bruxism.
* Heavy smoker (\> 10 cigarettes).
