NCT ID NCT05722041

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a custom-made abutment placed immediately after tooth extraction helps preserve gum tissue around a new dental implant. Thirty adults needing a molar replaced will receive either a custom or standard abutment. Researchers will compare gum volume changes and patient satisfaction after six months.
