Dental showdown: hand vs. rotary tool for cleaner tooth sockets
NCT ID NCT07607314
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests two standard methods—manual scraping with a hand tool or using a small rotating bur—to clean out unhealthy tissue from a tooth socket after extraction. About 60 adults with long-term tooth infections will be randomly assigned to one method, then all receive a bone graft. The goal is to see which technique is faster, less painful, and leads to better bone healing for future dental implants.
