Tiny study pits drill against hammer for better dental implants
NCT ID NCT07160309
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested two devices—a special drill (Densah Bur) and a magnetic hammer (Magnetic Mallet)—to see which better prepares a narrow jawbone for dental implants. Only 5 people took part, all with partial tooth loss and enough bone height but not enough width. The main goal was to measure how stable the implant was right after placement. Because the study is so small, the results are very early and not conclusive.
