6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this clinical controlled study is to compare anterior facial gingival level change between Immediate implant placement and provisionalization with bone graft and with socket shield technique.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to evaluate the facial gingival profile following immediate implant placement and provisionalization in conjunction with connective tissue graft with or without bone graft
A clinical trial comparing two types of NuSmile anterior crowns to composite strip crowns on anterior dental restorations.
This is a research study to test the clinical procedure and not the FDA approved medical device. This project will screen up to 80 volunteers to enroll 40 active subjects to receive a single tooth implant on an anterior (incisor/canine) or pre-molar tooth in the mandible or maxilla (no implants will be placed in molar sites). This 3 year research study will examine the clinical effects of loading regimens on roughened surfaced implants. The proposed research project will measure the changes in mucosal healing and maturation over a three year period following implant placement. The proposed research lays the foundation for improved health care by providing surgeons and restorative dentists with data for determining the relationship between implant healing, loading pattern and bone type. The rationale that underlies the investigation is that identification of the influences of timing of load on implant stability in varying bone types will allow routine, predictable use of early loading, which, in turn, will translate into more rapid health care, and improved psychosocial well-being of the patient. If these hypotheses are correct, these results are expected to provide evidence based research data to support early loading and immediate loading of single implants in sites of adequate bone volume, and density. In addition, it is expected that these results will fundamentally advance the field of implant dentistry and bioengineering by providing information on the principles of the bone density-mechanical environment-implant stability interaction.
The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness of two different crowns/caps on teeth for restoration of primary anterior teeth. The two different materials of crowns are esthetic crowns with retentive grooves and without retentive crowns. These crowns are placed on the teeth to restore function, esthetics and prevent further caries and infection.
This study is a clinical trial to determine the retention and durability of the anterior zirconia wing bridge. The type of zirconia-wing bridge the investigators are researching in this study has two wings which generally have three countersunk holes (meaning that the circumference of the outer portion of the hole is larger than the inner part of the hole). Composite resin (dental filling material) is placed in the holes as well as under and around the wings. Twelve patients will have bridges placed and be evaluated every 6 months (ideally) to determine if the bridge is staying in place (retention) and if it is resistant to fracture (durability).
