Mini vs. regular implants for lower dentures
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no natural teeth in your lower jaw
- Your upper jaw has all or most of your natural teeth, or a fixed bridge
- There is enough space between your upper and lower jaws for a denture supported by implants
- You have good oral hygiene and are motivated to care for your teeth

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 different attachment systems for people who have major problems with their upper and/or lower dentures, or who want implant-supported replacement teeth. It may help your smile and chewing by improving how the replacement teeth stay firmly in place.
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 trial tests whether dentures held in place by two small dental implants (mini-implants) improve your quality of life compared to regular dentures. It may help if you need new lower dentures and have enough jawbone for mini-implants.
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 patient satisfaction and bone changes around two types of dental implants used to support a removable lower denture. It may help you understand which implant material works best for you.
