Introduction: Narrow-diameter implants have been increasingly used in dentistry in recent years. Initially developed for placement in reduced interproximal spaces, their clinical indication has expanded with the goal of avoiding more invasive surgical procedures, such as bone grafts for alveolar ridge augmentation, thereby reducing treatment morbidity. Objective: The objective of this study was to report the use of narrow implants as a viable alternative for the rehabilitation of reduced prosthetic spaces, especially in clinical situations involving small cervical tooth diameters, decreased interradicular distance, thin alveolar ridge, or failure in bone augmentation procedures. Conclusion: It is concluded, through the present case report, that narrow osseointegrated implants represent an effective and safe alternative for the rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients. They are indicated for both anterior single-unit and removable partial prostheses, as well as elective cases in posterior regions.
