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.

- 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 study compares two ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
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 study tests whether regular or narrow dental implants work better for supporting a lower denture in people who have no teeth. It may help improve how well the denture fits and feels.
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 — one with a narrow base and one with a regular base — to see how your jawbone responds around them when placed slightly below the gum line. If you are missing a single back tooth, this may help you choose an implant that keeps your bone healthier over time.
