What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial compares two types of ceramic dental implants to determine which lasts longer and has fewer complications. It examines one-piece and two-piece designs for individuals missing teeth or with unsalvageable teeth. The trial targets those with metal allergies who require an alternative to metal implants. Participants should have missing teeth and metal allergies but should not have issues like poor oral hygiene or conditions that make surgery risky. As a Phase 3 trial, this study represents the final step before FDA approval, offering participants the opportunity to contribute to a potentially groundbreaking dental solution.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on anticoagulant medication, it might be a concern, so it's best to discuss this with the trial team.

What prior data suggests that these dental implant techniques are safe?

Research has shown that ceramic dental implants, such as the one-piece and two-piece CeraRoot implants, are generally safe for people. Studies have found that one-piece implants have a very low breakage rate of about 0.2% among all zirconia implant types, indicating their strength and favorable patient outcomes.

For the two-piece CeraRoot TL implants, less research is available, but FDA approval suggests they are safe and effective. However, fewer studies exist on the two-piece design compared to the one-piece implants.

Overall, both types of implants have demonstrated safety, though more information is available for one-piece implants. This suggests they are generally well-tolerated with few reported issues.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about ceramic dental implants because they offer a metal-free alternative to traditional titanium implants. Unlike the standard metal implants, ceramic implants are made from zirconia, which is biocompatible and can potentially reduce the risk of allergic reactions and inflammation. The study compares two-piece and one-piece ceramic implants, and each has its unique benefits: the two-piece design allows for more flexibility during placement, while the one-piece design can provide a more streamlined and potentially stronger integration with the jawbone. These features could lead to better long-term outcomes and improved patient satisfaction.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for dental implants?

This trial will compare two types of ceramic dental implants: one-piece and two-piece. Studies have shown that one-piece ceramic dental implants have long-lasting durability. In one study, all one-piece zirconia implants remained in place after the study period. Another study found that 89.6% of these implants were successful over eight years. For two-piece ceramic implants, research indicates that 73% lasted at least five years. Both types of ceramic implants are reliable, but one-piece implants generally last longer.678910
