Drilling speed may boost dental implant healing
NCT ID NCT07475416
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a slower drilling speed when placing a dental implant helps the implant stay stable and helps the bone heal better. Thirty-six adults who need a single tooth implant in the lower jaw will take part. Researchers will measure implant stability right after placement and three months later, and will also test the bone particles collected during drilling to see how well they can form new bone.
