Comparing bone drills for implants in jaw grafts
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of drilling bone for placing dental implants in people who have already had a jawbone graft from the hip. It aims to which drilling method works best for helping the implant to secure firmly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a bone graft from your hip (iliac crest) to rebuild your lower jaw after a piece was removed.
- The grafted area must be at least 10 millimeters tall and 7 millimeters wide.
- The gum over the graft must be healthy, with enough room to place a dental implant.
- You must not have any signs of infection, rejection, or major bone loss in the graft.
- You cannot have had radiation or chemotherapy for cancer treatment.
- You cannot have a medical condition that would slow down bone healing or the implant's integration.

This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant right after a tooth is removed. One method ('osseodensification') gently compacts the bone, while the other uses a traditional drilling technique. The study wants to see which method gives better bone support and healing.
This study compares two different drilling methods used during dental implant surgery to see which one is better. If you need a dental implant in your lower jaw (back teeth area) and are in good health, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for building up narrow jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may be an option if you have mild to moderate bone loss in your jaw.
This study compares three ways of preparing the jawbone for a dental implant in the upper back area. The goal is to see which technique makes the implant most stable right after placement and over time.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant in the jawbone to see which leads to less bone loss around the implant. It may help if you are missing a back tooth and have enough jawbone after a bone graft.
