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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Osstell Beacon device with custom attachment
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more objective and reliable way to measure tooth mobility in dental clinics.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 16 participants. The device is not yet proven for routine use, and results may not apply to all patients.
