NCT ID NCT07606456

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new way to prepare the jawbone for dental implants using a magnetic mallet instead of a traditional drill. Researchers compared the two methods in 32 people missing one or more upper back teeth. They measured how stable the implants were and how much bone was lost around them after early loading.
