How drilling affects dental implant healing after tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be generally healthy, free from conditions that would make dental implant surgery risky.
- You need to have teeth (other than molars) that are planned for removal, in either the upper or lower jaw.
- Your gums should be healthy, with little bleeding or plaque.
- The bone around the tooth must be intact after the tooth is taken out.

This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant after having a single upper tooth removed: placing it right away or waiting a few months. Some people also get a bone-grafting procedure to preserve the jawbone. The goal is to see which approach helps the implant heal best and keeps your smile looking good.
This study looks at how the initial stability of dental implants (how firmly they are placed) and temporary teeth affect the final outcome. It may help you understand the best timing for getting temporary teeth after extractions.
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 types of dental implant surfaces to see which helps the implant bond better with the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a single front tooth or first premolar replaced.
This trial compares placing a dental implant right after a tooth is pulled versus waiting for the socket to heal first. It aims to see which timing leads to better healing at the molecular level.
This study compares placing dental implants right after tooth removal, with or without adding a bone graft, in the lower front area. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and long-term success.
