Comparing two drilling methods for dental implants in the lower back jaw
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of preparing your jawbone for a dental implant: the usual method (conventional drilling) and a newer 'biological drilling' approach. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and success for the implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are generally healthy and between 21 and 60 years old.
- You need a dental implant in your lower back jaw, and the implant will be placed some time after the tooth is removed (delayed placement).
- You have good oral health and are willing to sign a consent form.
- You are not a heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day).
- You are not pregnant.
- You have no serious health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or bleeding problems, and you have not had radiation therapy to your head or neck.

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 ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
This study tests a new way of placing dental implants in the back of the mouth that may help the implant stay stronger. If you need a molar implant, this approach might lead to better outcomes.
This trial compares two different speeds of a special drilling technique to see which may be gentler on the bone during dental implant placement in the lower jaw. If you qualify, you'll receive an implant and be monitored for a year to check how well the bone heals.
This study tests whether using a slower or faster drill speed when placing a dental implant in the lower jaw affects how well the implant stays stable and how the bone grows around it. If you need a single implant and have good bone, this could help improve your procedure and healing.
This trial compares two ways of preparing the jawbone for dental implants to see which gives better implant stability. It is for people with low bone density in the back of the jaw who have been missing teeth for at least six months.
