NCT ID NCT05958043
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two types of temporary dental implants: one made by 3D printing and one by milling. Twenty patients with missing teeth received these implants and were followed for three months. Researchers checked how well the implants held up and if their color changed over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
3D-printed resin and PMMA milled material for dental implants
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward better, longer-lasting temporary dental implants that are more comfortable and durable for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study only looks at short-term use (3 months), so long-term benefits are unknown.
