Sponsor

University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

Enrollment

12 participants

Start Date

Feb 6, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In this study the additional effect of supplementary implants in patients with Kennedy Class I in terms of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and cost-benefit-analyses comparing costs of maintenance care will be investigated


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating whether adding small implants can improve how well removable dentures work for people who are missing back teeth on both sides of their jaw (a situation called Kennedy Class I). Traditional removable partial dentures can be unstable or uncomfortable; supplementary implants may provide better support and improve chewing ability. You may be eligible if: - You are at least 18 years old - You have signed informed consent and are willing to attend follow-up visits - You are missing teeth on both back sides of your upper or lower jaw, with your most posterior remaining tooth being a first premolar, canine, or incisor You may NOT be eligible if: - You have an uncontrolled systemic disease that would interfere with dental implant treatment - You smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day - You have alcohol or drug abuse issues - You have chronic pain, untreated gum disease, or poor oral hygiene - You require chronic high-dose steroid therapy or bone-strengthening (anti-resorptive) treatments - You have circumstances that would prevent you from completing the study Talk to your doctor or dentist about whether this study may be right for you, particularly if you currently wear or need a partial denture for missing back teeth.
