Comparing Patient Satisfaction and Bone Changes Around Zirconia and Titanium One-Piece Implants in Lower Jaw Denture Support for Men Aged 50 to 60

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating patient satisfaction and changes in crestal bone around one-piece zirconia and titanium dental implants used to retain mandibular overdentures in completely edentulous male patients aged 50 to 60 years. The study aims to find out if there is a significant difference between these two types of implants over a 12-month period following the final prosthetic fitting. Participants will receive either two one-piece titanium dental implants with titanium ball attachments or two one-piece zirconia dental implants with zirconia ball attachments to support the mandibular overdentures. The zirconia implants are metal-free and made from oxide ceramics with advanced surface treatment, while titanium implants are considered the gold standard. This randomized clinical trial compares these two implant types to assess differences in patient outcomes. Throughout the 12 months after the prosthetic loading, researchers will monitor changes in crestal bone and assess patient satisfaction. Participants will have regular follow-up visits to evaluate implant performance and comfort. The study involves careful measurement of bone changes and patient feedback to understand the effects of these implant materials in maintaining mandibular overdentures.
