The aim of this prospective clinical study was to analyze marginal bone loss around Narrow Diameter Implants (NDIs) in comparison with that of Regular Diameter Implants (RDIs) installed in the posterior region of the jaws after one year of loading with single prostheses. This study demonstrated that RDIs and NDIs produced similar marginal bone alterations patterns after one year of loading, regardless the implant location, indicating that NDIs may be used in the posterior region of the jaws with single unit prostheses in selected patients.
