Mini-implants versus regular dentures for lower teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to replace all your lower teeth: a regular set of dentures versus dentures held in place by two small implants (mini-implants). The goal is to see which option gives you a better quality of life and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have no natural teeth left in your lower jaw, and have been toothless there for at least 6 months.
- You should be generally healthy and able to have a minor surgical procedure in your mouth.
- There must be enough bone and space in the front of your lower jaw for two small implants.
- You must be willing to come to follow-up visits and follow the study rules.
- You cannot have serious uncontrolled health problems (like diabetes), take bone-affecting medications, or smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day.

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 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 study compares two ways to attach a lower denture to dental implants. It aims to find which method gives better fit and comfort for people who have lost all their teeth.
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.
This study compares two types of dental implants used to support a full set of lower teeth. It looks at how the jawbone reacts over time to help determine which implant design may be more stable.
