Custom gum-saving abutment may improve dental implant outcomes
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Immediate dental implant placement with a customised socket sealing abutment
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could help maintain gum shape and volume after tooth extraction and implant placement, improving aesthetic and functional outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The technique may not show significant benefit over standard abutments.
