First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether short dental implants (7mm) work as well as standard ones (11mm) for people with bone loss in the lower jaw. Ten adults will receive one type of implant and be monitored for 4 weeks to measure early stability. The goal is to see if short implants can avoid the need for bone grafting, making treatment simpler and less invasive.
