Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and above with single or multiple missing teeth and adequate bone density.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe medical conditions or those over 80 years old may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates a new dental device made of zirconia, cemented with Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, as a potential solution for edentulism. The study aims to determine if this device can provide a faster and more cost-effective treatment option for patients with missing teeth. Participants will undergo a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan and clinical evaluation before receiving the device, which will be loaded immediately after placement. The effectiveness and safety of the device will be monitored through radiographic evaluations and clinical examinations over a year.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer patients a quicker and more affordable solution for tooth replacement.
How similar studies have gone: While conventional methods for tooth replacement are well-established, this specific approach using zirconia and PMMA is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
