Using supplementary implants to support removable dental prostheses for partial edentulism

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 investigates the additional benefits of supplementary implants in patients with Kennedy Class I partial edentulism. It focuses on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and conducts a cost-benefit analysis comparing the costs of maintenance care. Participants will receive dental implants and retentive components to enhance their removable partial dentures. The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness and economic implications of this intervention.
