Clinical research

A variety of different clinical research activities within the dental implant area are ongoing. The clinical research program consists of Fully Sponsored Studies and Investigator Initiated Studies (IIS).

We comply with the requirements of the FDA and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) regarding clinical study registration. Thus, information regarding all initiated studies is publicly accessible via the ClinicalTrials.gov website. For ethical and transparency reasons, as well as for regulatory purposes, information is continuously published about our clinical studies on dental implants and related products on this website.  

Clinical research program

On average, 2-3 prospective, multicenter, clinical studies are initiated each year to:

  • confirm that our products are safe and reliable, for the benefit of the clinicians and their patients
  • secure regulatory compliance
  • extend the indications of our products

Dedicated clinical research staff at different universities and dental clinics around the globe are involved in, and work with these studies on a daily basis.

Below is a list of the ongoing studies within the clinical research program, including a short description of each study and a specification of the products being investigated. Click on each study for more information, e.g. available results and a direct link to ClinicalTrials.gov
