First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether placing the final abutment once during dental implant surgery, without removing it during healing, reduces bone loss around the implant compared to standard repeated disconnections. Researchers will also measure patient satisfaction and analyze mouth bacteria. The trial involves 32 healthy adults needing implants in the back of the jaw.
