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 study compares two surgical techniques for building up bone in the lower jaw where it is too thin for dental implants. The goal is to find which method gives a better foundation for placing implants, helping you get a secure and lasting tooth replacement.
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 two ways of placing a dental implant right after removing a damaged back tooth. One method leaves the gums undisturbed, the other uses a small gum modification. The goal is to see which approach gives better healing and long-term success.
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 study compares two different placement depths for short dental implants in the back of the jaw, to see which one helps keep the surrounding bone healthier over time. If you are missing a back tooth and have enough bone, this could help you understand the best way to replace it.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant along with a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild bone around the implant. It aims to see which method gives better results for people who need a single implant and have a small bone defect on the cheek side.
