Magnetic mallet vs. drilling for dental implants in soft jawbone
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two techniques for placing dental implants in the upper jaw where the bone is very soft (type D4). It tests whether a magnetic mallet (a tool that uses gentle taps) is better than conventional drilling for placing implants in this challenging bone type.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing at least one upper back tooth and the gum has fully healed
- You have at least 11 mm of bone height in that area, so no sinus lift is needed
- Your jawbone in that spot is very soft (type D4)
- You do not have any health conditions that slow bone healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes
- You do not have an active infection in your mouth
- You do not smoke

This study tests a technique to widen a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed. It aims to make the procedure safe and effective for people who are missing teeth but don't have enough bone width.
This trial tests a new drilling method called osseodensification (which makes the bone denser) versus the standard way of drilling for placing a dental implant right after pulling a tooth. It is for people who need a lower back molar removed and want an implant placed immediately.
This study compares two techniques to lift the sinus floor and place dental implants at the same time in people with limited bone height. It aims to find which method is more effective and comfortable for patients.
This study compares two types of guided surgery methods for placing dental implants in the back of the jaw (where there are missing teeth). It aims to find which technique works better for patients who need implants in that area.
This study looks at how the way a dentist drills into the jawbone for a dental implant affects how well the implant attaches to the bone. It requires people who are already scheduled to have teeth removed, to see if the drilling method makes a difference in healing.
This study tests two different surgical methods to rebuild the jawbone where teeth are missing, so that dental implants can be placed securely. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients with vertical bone loss.
