Evaluating a new dental implant bridge design

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 study evaluates the clinical performance of a novel dual-cantilevered single-implant bridge, known as the T-Bridge, which is made from monolithic zirconia bonded to a titanium base abutment. The focus is on assessing the survival and success rates of both the implant and the prosthetic components. Participants will receive this innovative dental prosthesis to determine its effectiveness in restoring function and aesthetics for patients with three adjacent missing teeth in the posterior region.

* Presence of natural or artificial opposing dentition
* Sufficient vertical interocclusal space of an implant restoration (7mm)
* Sufficient ridge height to place an implant of 10mm in length
* Sufficient ridge width for the placement of a 4.1mm diameter implant. Simultaneous GBR to achieve a width of 6.5mm will be included.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any physical or mental disorder that would interfere with the ability to perform adequate oral hygiene or the capability of providing written informed consent and compliance with the protocol
* Any disorder that would interfere with wound healing or represent a contraindication for implant surgery, such as but not limited to uncontrolled diabetes or conditions resulting in or requiring immunosuppression, radiation, chemotherapy, frequent use of antibiotics or antiresorptive medication such as bisphosphonates.
