A leading implantology research company is calling on dentists to help them test an innovative new treatment.
RED (Research & Education in Dentistry), the dedicated research division of UK-based dental implant supplier Implantium, is undertaking a study to evaluate the long-term efficacy and performance of Slim Onebody dental mini-implants and is on the lookout for suitable patients to take part in clinical trials.
Mini-implants are becoming an increasingly popular alternative for patients who are unsuitable for treatment with traditional implants because of factors such as poor bone quality or volume. RED is interested in working with patients who fall into any of the following categories: Cohort One – lower edentulous adult patients with unstable or unretentive lower complete dentures; Cohort Two – upper edentulous adult patients with unstable or unretentive upper complete dentures; or Cohort Three – patients with missing lower or upper lateral incisor teeth.
Julie Davies, Group Manager for Implantium, said: “Patients taking part in the study will be treated by our highly qualified and vastly experience team of dentists at the state-of-the-art Oracle Clinic in Shrewsbury.
“And as well as receiving the highest standards of treatment and care, patients participating in the research will also receive considerable price discounts. Each mini-implant will cost £50, so for some more advanced cases, patients could save up to £6,000 on the usual treatment costs. I’d urge any dentist who may have a suitable patient to contact us on 01743 466 796 or email info@oracledental.co.uk.”
RED (Research & Education in Dentistry) is the dedicated research division of Implantium, a leading UK-based supplier of high-quality, cost-effective dental implants. Run for dentists, by dentists, Implantium is also home to the Implantium Network, a match-making service which helps place patients interested in getting an implant fitted, with skilled dentists in their local area.
Good Afternoon,
I have been browsing the Internet looking desperately for some kind of clinical trial for dental implants as I have major oral health problems which are basically ruining my life. I am 34 years of age and it seems my only option at the moment is to get removable dentures as the cost of implants are way way more than I could ever afford. The thought of dentures actually breaks my heart.
I have worked all my life and never claimed any kind of benefit. I have recently come out of a seventeen year abusive relationship where my partner has financially crippled me. I could never afford to go the dentist on a regular basis and have even been under the dental hospital for free treatment due to my financial situation. I have also having some bad experiences and being frightened of going the dentist has also been an issue.
I have had problems with my bite with my teeth being uneven since I was a teenager, and I have problems relaxing my jaw. Also, on occasion I get up during the night and eat. This is not very often anymore but a couple of years ago it was a regular occurance so although I would clean my teeth before bed, my night/sleep eating habit sort of reversed my evening brush.
I have no upper back teeth and struggle to eat. My gums, face and neck ache daily. My upper left 2 and upper right 2 are dropping out of my jaw and are visually ugly. I have considerable bone loss above these two teeth. My lower six front teeth are extremely crooked and it is so difficult to clean between them even with floss and periodontal brushes.
I apologise for my long-winded letter but I am quite simply at my wits end as all my dentists can reccomend is for me to go private and at the costs involved this is simply not an option.
Please please consider me for your trial even if you could offer me a consultation you could offer me some hope or assistance and for that I would be eternally grateful.
Many many thanks in anticipation of your reply and time taken to consider my plea,
Yours sincerely and faithfully,
Li-Anne Metcalfe x

Melissa!I enjoy working with you sooo much! You have been such a truaesre. Your girls are just precious and your photography style ROCKS! I think our styles working amazingly well together and I can’t wait to continue our partnership! Wait till you see the dressy Holiday Fabric. My son, Laken keeps asking, mommy, when are you going to use THAT fabric? I must admit I’m just as excited to create something with it as he is.. lol. I’m way too giddy over the fabrics for the Skirt/Dress of the Month Club for August and Sept. Way too fun and cute. I can’t wait for you to capture the images. Thanks for reviewing my clothing and I’m so proud that they are not only cute clothes but comfy and last and last! Thanks for everything! You are a gem!Heather
HI, very interested in becoming part of your clinical trial, male 50 years old, poor bone and loose teeth in upper jaw, only three teeth left in upper jaw which I am willing to loose, not getting on well with a standard ill fitting denture and constant payment to dentist for extractions and new teeth to be added to the previously mentioned poor quality denture is starting to depress me, two teeth missing at the front of low jaw due to a nasty saliva gland infection and removed at hospital during a hospitalised drain and one lower rear molar missing, I am only working part time and live with a congenital birth defect in the right leg (no financial help from any benefits) I take MST and Piroxcam for the pain in my leg and hip.
Please consider me for this or any other clinical dental implant trial you may have as I think my problems and background meet your requirements.
regards
Phil
I have a bridge which has broken and the crown has broken onto the bridge. The dentist has glued it back but obviously this is only a temporary measure. I have looked at implants in the past but was not recommended due to my nerve being very close to the gum. I believe with mini implants this is very different and I am very interested in doing your trial.
Thanks a lot
Alison Henderson
hi can you tell me if these trials are still going on as i would be interested in my patient being included.
Hi
I had all of my teeth removed 18 months ago due to poor health, since then I have had several dentures of which the bottom ones do not sit correctly or stay attached with any adhesive for more than an hr, I am only 40 and I suffer with long term mental health which means I cannot work and cannot afford implants, my dentist has assured me there is nothing else they can do for me apart from implants but they are too expensive, could you help improve my life and point me in the right direction for a trial
Yours gratefully
Pretty nice post. I just came across your blog and waentd to say that I’ve really liked reading your posts. Anyway I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you post again soon!
hi, very interested in your clinical trial, my teeth are not great my front top teeth are capped and i wear a bridge with 2 teeth attached. Im probably to late on asking if your still taking on volunteers. I m asking to be concidered as my teeth has been weakened by treatment i was receiving for breast cancer, which finished a month ago. I just cant afford to pay to have implants done, all i want is the confidence to smile and not be embarrassed about my teeth.
Had a serious accident at 13, now 38 and need two impants at the top front.
Would be happy to take part in any trials.
hi, my name is sharon robinson age 43. i’m not sure if you are still looking for patients for the implant trial but its worth an email. i’ve had problems with my teeth from a baby my first teeth came through when i was 16mths and these where my back teeth and front last, as they came through they rotted and the dentist have tried to save what they could but as i got older more of the nerves where removed and this has lead to my teeth becoming unstable. i have had one implant but my front teeth need inplants as the teeth are only supported by metal rods with half crown half veneer. i hav’nt been able to bite any food for four years now and can only eat my food if it is cut into small pieces please could you help me smile again.
Hi, I’ve just been browsing the search engine for help with dental implants and realised its beyond my reach, I don’t like my dentist as he gave my front
Tooth a crown when I have a almost no bone left for it to be stable ,it’s very loose ive had a temporary tooth in the front for nearly 8 months as I don’t trust my dentist to put another crown in ! The hospital said I have very low bone in my gum and I will loose my front teeth . I already wear a plate for two missing teeth on the front side and I really can’t bear the thought of a full plate . I’m a 52 year old female who never smiles fully as I don’t like my teeth, I hope you are still doing these trials as I would really like to be considered!
I would like to be part of the implant trial , I already have one in the front top , and have had it since I was 11 yrs old due to an accident , I have a few teeth that need replacing top and bottom , and the plate I have is un bearable and makes me vomit when I put it in my mouth , so I’m a lady with no smile , I always look miserable due to the fact I don’t smile and have problems eating , thank you ,
It’s fantastic that you are getting ideas from this paragraph as well as from our discussion made here.

i am realy intrested in being a patient for implant trials as i am 40 years old and have no top teeth at all and is causing me a lot of misery and depression i would be so grateful if you accepted me ,, thankyopu
Hi,
I would love to be a patient for implant trials if you still require people. I lost one of my side/front upper teeth a couple of years ago. I tried to wear a denture but found it very uncomfortable and an implant is very expensive. Thanks
Hi there,
My name is Tracy , i am 42 have 4 teeth on top and 8 on the bottom.. Which really gets me down.. I currently have an upper plate which is metal ( i got this few years ago from dentist.. I am currently attending Dental Hospital who are making me a new plate which is the plastic material as the dentist advised i should have this one because i need to get used to it.. He was rudely abrupt saying if I dont get this one nothing else they could do.. I got to car and burst into tears. I currently have metal one because has a hole in middle thats letsme taste food.. I never smile and show my dentures in photo’s.. If i let any get taken.. All i do is look at people’s teeth.. Always commenting and nearly every advert is about looking after teeth, toothpaste etc.. I have has so many abseses over the years.. I no its a myth but when i was pregnant with my daughter that was the start of the end.. Sorry for rabbling. Please contact me if you need trials.. Total woud change my life..
Thanks for the auspicious writeup. It in reality used to be a entertainment account it.
Look complicated to more added agreeable from you!
However, how could we keep up a correspondence?

Hi, just wondering if you are still looking for people??? I am a suitable candidate. Two teeth at front dropped out now frightened of brushing teeth as the other at side is very loose… Can’t stand the thought of having false teeth in my mouth! I’m terrified of the dentist due to one years ago ripping half my gum out!! I don’t earn enough to pay for private implants!! Thanks
I was wondering if these trials are still going on.I have a bridge on the lower,however 2 teeth have been damaged.I now have to wear a dental palate with 2 teeth and it is very uncomfortable and moves around I work with the public and am very conscious of this.
Regards
