How implant depth affects bone healing around short dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and need a dental implant to replace a missing tooth in the back of your upper or lower jaw.
- You have enough natural bone to hold a short implant without needing extra bone grafting.
- You are in good overall health, or any chronic condition you have is well controlled.
- You have good oral hygiene (less than 25% plaque buildup on teeth).
- You are willing to come back for check-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months after the implant.

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.
This trial tests two ways to place a dental implant right after pulling a front tooth that can't be saved. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root (called a socket shield) and places a temporary crown right away. The other method waits a few months before placing the implant.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant in the jawbone to see which leads to less bone loss around the implant. It may help if you are missing a back tooth and have enough jawbone after a bone graft.
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 studies whether placing a dental implant right away or after a delay leads to better appearance and healing. It looks at cosmetic results and X-ray findings, and is for people missing one front upper tooth.
This study tests whether the vertical position of a dental implant affects bone loss around it, specifically for people with thin gums. If you are missing a single upper front tooth or premolar, you may be a candidate.
