Dental implant study tests new connector to save bone and gums
NCT ID NCT05883202
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of abutment-prosthesis connections for dental implants: a newer internal conical system (Connect®) versus a traditional external flat system (multi-unit). Researchers want to see which one leads to less bone loss and better gum health around the implant. The study involves 40 people who need multiple implants in their lower jaw. It is currently suspended, so results are not yet available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Connect® abutment (device) vs. conventional multi-unit abutment (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help dentists choose the best abutment type to reduce bone loss and improve gum sealing around dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, suspended study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply widely. The comparison is technical and may not lead to major clinical changes.
