Different drilling speeds for lower jaw dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 60 years old.
- You need a single dental implant in your lower jaw.
- You must have enough bone in the area for the implant without needing major bone grafting.
- You need to have good oral hygiene and no active gum disease.
- You must be able to attend follow-up visits for 12 months after the implant placement.
- You cannot smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, be pregnant, or take certain bone-affecting medications.

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 study compares two different placement depths for short dental implants in the back of the jaw, to see which one helps keep the surrounding bone healthier over time. If you are missing a back tooth and have enough bone, this could help you understand the best way to replace it.
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.
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 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 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.
