Implant Surface Roughness Impact on Peri-implant Bone Stability for Mandibular Overdenture

This clinical study is designed to explore how the texture of dental implants affects the stability of the jawbone over time. It specifically compares two types of implants, one with a hybrid surface and the other with a moderately rough surface, to see which better supports a dental device called a mandibular overdenture. The focus is on patients who need these implants and are looking to improve their dental health and comfort. Understanding the impact of implant surface texture is important because it could lead to better long-term outcomes for those requiring dental prosthetics, potentially enhancing their overall oral health quality of life. Participants in the study will receive both types of implants, with one type placed on one side of the mouth and the other type on the opposite side. This approach allows researchers to directly compare the two surfaces in the same individual. Over the course of one to eight years, the researchers will monitor changes in the bone around the implants and assess the participants' oral health quality of life. This involves routine check-ups to evaluate the bone stability and the health of the surrounding tissues, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of how the implant surface affects long-term dental health.
