Study of short dental implants for thin jawbones
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of short dental implant for people whose jawbone is too thin or short for standard implants. It aims to see how well these implants work and if they are safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a jawbone that is too thin or short for standard dental implants
- You must have natural teeth or fixed dental work (like crowns or bridges) on the opposite jaw
- You must be willing to cooperate with the study procedures
- You cannot be allergic to titanium
- You cannot have active gum disease, severe drinking or smoking habits, teeth grinding, or certain medical conditions
- You cannot be pregnant

This study looks at whether placing a shorter dental implant at different depths affects how the bone around it heals. It may help people who need a tooth replaced in the back of the upper or lower jaw.
This study compares short dental implants to standard-length implants in people who have had gum disease. The goal is to see if shorter implants work as well as longer ones, which could help people with less jawbone avoid a bone graft.
This study tests two ways of placing dental implants in the lower front jaw for people who have lost all their teeth. It aims to find which method works better for supporting a full denture.
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.
This trial compares very short (4 mm) implants to slightly longer (8 mm) implants with a bone graft in the back upper jaw. It aims to see which option works better for holding a dental bridge, potentially avoiding a sinus lift procedure.
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.
