NCT ID NCT07162389
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study compares how stable short (7mm) and standard (11mm) dental implants are during the first 4 weeks after placement in the lower jaw. Ten adults with missing back teeth and limited bone height will receive one of the two implant types. The goal is to see if short implants can be a good option without needing bone grafting.
