Comparing narrow vs standard dental implants for jaw bone loss
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether narrow dental implants can preserve jaw bone better than standard implants with bone grafting in people missing back teeth. If you have a narrow jawbone, this study may help determine which option works best for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing teeth in the back part of your lower jaw and need dental implants.
- Your lower jaw has at least 8 mm of vertical bone height and a width between 5-6 mm.
- The missing tooth was removed at least 3 months ago.
- You have no medical conditions like diabetes or bone diseases that affect healing.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You maintain good oral hygiene.

This trial compares a computer-guided technique versus a free-hand method to widen a narrow jawbone in the lower back mouth. If you have a thin jawbone and need dental implants, this study tests a more precise way to create enough space for them.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for building up narrow jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may be an option if you have mild to moderate bone loss in your jaw.
This trial compares two methods to widen the upper front jaw bone so dental implants can be placed. One method uses a piece of your own bone, the other uses the existing bone to create more space. The goal is to find which technique works best for people with a narrow jaw ridge.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant in the jawbone to see which leads to less bone loss around the implant. It may help if you are missing a back tooth and have enough jawbone after a bone graft.
This study compares two ways to rebuild a narrow lower jawbone so you can get dental implants. One method uses a special bone shell technique, and the other uses a strong fabric material. Your doctor will check if your jawbone is wide enough and healthy for this surgery.
This study compares two types of dental implants (narrow and standard width) for replacing a single missing back tooth (molar). The goal is to see how well narrow implants work in areas where the jawbone is not very wide, offering a less invasive option for eligible patients.
