Effect of implant screw tightness on bone loss
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial looks at how tightly the screw that holds a dental implant crown is tightened and whether that affects bone loss around the implant over time. It may help find the best way to tighten screws to keep your implant healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be missing back teeth (molars/premolars), but not all teeth
- Your jaw and facial bones must have finished growing
- Your gums and teeth must be very clean, with less than 25% plaque or bleeding
- You must have enough jawbone to place an implant without needing a bone graft
- The implant area must have at least 2 mm of thick, attached gum tissue
- You cannot smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day or have certain health conditions that make surgery risky

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a special healing cap placed right after a tooth is removed and an implant is put in. The goal is to keep the bone and gums healthy around the implant for a better long-term result.
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 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.
This trial compares two ways of replacing a front tooth with a dental implant: placing the implant right after the tooth is removed (using the socket-shield technique) versus waiting a few months. It aims to see which approach keeps the gum and bone around the implant looking and feeling better.
This study tests whether placing a dental implant right after tooth removal and attaching a temporary crown works well when the implant is very secure from the start. It may help people who need one or more implants and want a faster approach to replacing missing teeth.
