Drill speed for lower jaw implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult who needs one dental implant in the lower jaw.
- You have enough bone in the implant area without needing a bone graft.
- You are in good overall health.
- You have no conditions that slow down bone healing, like uncontrolled diabetes, active gum disease, or past radiation to the head or neck.
- You are not a heavy smoker.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 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.
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.
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.
