Dental implant showdown: which connection design saves more bone?

NCT ID NCT03528330

Completed Disease control Sponsor: University of Valencia Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

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

Summary

This study compares two types of dental implant connections — internal hexagon and conical — to see which one leads to better bone preservation, fewer complications, and healthier gums. Twenty adults needing two implant-supported crowns will receive one of each connection type, allowing a direct head-to-head comparison. Researchers will measure bone levels, implant stability, and any failures or prosthetic issues 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
dental implant with internal hexagon connection or conical connection
What this could lead to
If one connection type clearly outperforms the other, dentists may adopt it to improve implant longevity and reduce bone loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Differences between connections may be minor or not clinically meaningful.
