New device could take the guesswork out of measuring loose teeth
NCT ID NCT07188168
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a device called Osstell, normally used for dental implants, can also measure how loose natural teeth are. Sixteen adults with different levels of tooth mobility took part. The researchers compared Osstell readings with two standard methods (Miller index and Periotest). The goal was to see if Osstell gives consistent, objective results.
