Comparing narrow and regular implant bases for back teeth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares a narrower versus a wider implant base for placing an implant just below the gum line. You may be able to join if you are missing one back tooth and have healthy gums and enough bone without needing extra surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are missing one back tooth, and the teeth on either side of the gap are natural (not implants or bridges).
- You have enough jawbone to place an implant about the size of a small pencil eraser without needing a bone graft.
- You have a natural tooth or a fixed dental cap or bridge opposite the missing tooth.
- You have good oral hygiene (little plaque, checked by a dentist).

This trial is testing a type of dental implant for people missing one or more teeth in the back of the jaw. It aims to see how well the implant holds up over time and whether the surrounding bone stays healthy.
This trial compares different shapes and heights of the abutment (the connector piece between the implant and crown) to see how they affect gum and bone healing. It is for people who need a single or few back teeth replaced with a dental implant.
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.
This study compares two types of dental implants (narrow and standard width) for replacing a single missing back tooth (molar). The goal is to see how well narrow implants work in areas where the jawbone is not very wide, offering a less invasive option for eligible patients.
This trial compares two types of dental implants (variable-thread and standard) for replacing a single missing back tooth. It aims to see which implant works better for long-term stability and healing.
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.
