NCT ID NCT06252324

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two ways to place dental implants in people with bone loss. One technique places the implant at the gum level (tissue-level), while the other places it at the bone level and requires a second surgery to uncover it. Researchers will track bone changes, implant survival, and pain over 3 years in 80 adults. The goal is to see if the simpler tissue-level method works as well.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

dental implant (tissue-level or bone-level surgical technique)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simpler tissue-level implant technique works as well as the standard bone-level method, reducing the need for extra surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgeon knows which technique is used, which could bias outcomes.
