Dental implant placement: even with the bone vs slightly below
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 21 years.
- You have a missing back tooth in the lower jaw that has been built up with a bone graft, and you have at least 10 mm of bone height and 7 mm of ridge width.
- You have enough space between your upper and lower teeth for an implant and your bite is normal (not causing too much pressure).
- You have good oral hygiene and can commit to 18 months of follow-up visits.
- You are not a smoker, do not have habits like teeth grinding, and do not have a health condition that slows healing (like uncontrolled diabetes).
- You are not pregnant.

This trial compares two techniques to rebuild bone width in the lower jaw so you can get dental implants. It tests a 'tenting' method versus the 'Khoury' method to see which adds more bone volume.
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 compares three ways of preparing the jawbone for a dental implant in the upper back area. The goal is to see which technique makes the implant most stable right after placement and over time.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for placing a dental implant immediately after a tooth is removed. It may be an option for people who need a back tooth replaced and have good overall health.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant right after a tooth is removed. One method ('osseodensification') gently compacts the bone, while the other uses a traditional drilling technique. The study wants to see which method gives better bone support and healing.
This trial compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw when the bone is too thin for standard implants. It may help people who need an implant but have lost bone height.
