Comparing short and standard dental implants for partial tooth loss

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 observational study aims to evaluate the survival rates of short-length dental implants (less than 6.5 mm) in patients with partial edentulism, using standard-length implants as a control. The study will also assess clinical parameters such as marginal bone loss and complications related to the prosthetic devices. Participants will receive either type of implant as part of a fixed multiple prosthesis, and their outcomes will be monitored over time. The study is designed to provide insights into the effectiveness of shorter implants in dental restoration.
