Comparing two drilling methods for jaw implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 21 and 60 years old and in good general health.
- You need a dental implant placed in the back part of your lower jaw, several months after the tooth is taken out.
- You should have good oral health and be willing to sign a consent form.
- You cannot be a heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day), pregnant, or have a condition that makes implant surgery unsafe.
- You must not have had radiation to the head or neck, or have uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding problems, or a history of alcohol or drug abuse.

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 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.
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 trial compares a computer-guided technique versus a free-hand method to widen a narrow jawbone in the lower back mouth. If you have a thin jawbone and need dental implants, this study tests a more precise way to create enough space for them.
This trial tests two different drilling speeds when placing a single dental implant in the lower jaw, to see which works better. It may help if you need a single implant and have healthy gums and enough jaw bone.
This trial tests whether the speed used to drill a hole in the jawbone affects how well a single dental implant stays in place and helps new bone grow. It may help you if you need a single implant in your lower jaw.
