Comparing short versus standard dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study checks how short dental implants (6 mm or less) compare to standard ones (over 8 mm) by looking at gum health and certain biomarkers in saliva or gum fluid. If you have implants, this could help understand which type works best over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old and in good overall health.
- You have at least one dental implant that has been in place for 2 years or longer (either short or standard length).
- You are not currently using antibiotics, systemic medications, or certain osteoporosis drugs.
- You do not smoke or drink alcohol.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how gums react to plaque buildup around dental implants that were previously treated for infection. It may help understand if one treatment method leads to healthier gums.
This study looks at how often gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) happens around dental implants in people who previously had gum disease and are now in maintenance care. The results may help clinicians spot risk earlier and improve oral care around implants.
This study compares different tools for cleaning between the teeth around a single back dental implant. The goal is to see which device best reduces gum inflammation (mucositis) around the implant.
This study compares how different materials used for probing around dental implants affect accuracy. It is for people with a single implant (with a screw-retained crown, no abutment) that has been in use for at least a year and is either healthy or has only mild gum inflammation.
This trial compares two ways to treat gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis) and natural teeth (periodontitis), using either a non-surgical approach or a non-surgical approach plus an antibiotic gel. It aims to see which method works better to reduce inflammation and improve oral health.
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.
