Milled dental caps beat 3D-Printed for healthier gums, study finds
NCT ID NCT07287722
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two types of temporary healing caps for dental implants: one milled from a solid block and one 3D-printed. In 22 adults, the milled caps caused less gum inflammation and bleeding over 4 weeks, likely due to their smoother surface. The findings help dentists choose the best option for early healing around implants.
