How narrow vs. regular dental implants affect jawbone in back teeth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of dental implants — one with a narrow base and one with a regular base — to see how your jawbone responds around them when placed slightly below the gum line. If you are missing a single back tooth, this may help you choose an implant that keeps your bone healthier over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are missing one back tooth that has natural teeth on both sides of the gap
- You have enough bone in your jaw to place a dental implant without needing a bone or gum graft
- You have a natural tooth or a crown (implant-supported) on the opposite jaw that touches the missing tooth area
- You maintain good oral hygiene, with less than 25% plaque buildup on your teeth
- You do not have conditions like osteoporosis or kidney disease, and you are not taking bone-affecting medications (like bisphosphonates or corticosteroids)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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.
