Short vs standard implant for lower partial denture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a shorter dental implant placed slightly below the bone works as well as a standard-length implant placed at the bone level to hold a lower removable partial denture more securely. It may help you if you have a loose denture and enough bone for one of these implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You are missing at least some back teeth on the lower jaw and have a removable partial denture that feels loose.
- You have enough bone in your jaw to place either a short implant (6 mm) or a standard-length implant (7.5–10.5 mm).
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, active infection, or a history of radiation to the head or bisphosphonate use in the past year.
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day or have severe teeth grinding.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests how well two dental implants support a bridge or partial denture in the lower jaw when you have loose or missing front teeth. The goal is to see how long the implants last with different loading schedules.
This trial compares two types of dental implants for holding a lower denture in place. It aims to see if smaller, mini implants work as well as regular-sized ones in terms of how the teeth come together and apart when you chew or speak.
This study compares patient satisfaction and bone changes around two types of dental implants used to support a removable lower denture. It may help you understand which implant material works best for you.
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 different ways of placing dental implants to hold a lower denture (overdenture). One method is a newer 'osseodensification' technique that helps make the bone denser around the implant, while the other is the standard drilling approach. The goal is to see which method gives better results for people who need a stable, implant-supported denture.
This trial tests whether dentures held in place by two small dental implants (mini-implants) improve your quality of life compared to regular dentures. It may help if you need new lower dentures and have enough jawbone for mini-implants.
