Same-Day tooth crowns: just as good as waiting?

NCT ID NCT04319042

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether placing a permanent crown on a dental implant right away (immediate loading) works as well as waiting 4 weeks (early loading) for lower first molars. About 100 adults who need a tooth removed and replaced will get an implant 12-16 weeks after extraction, then receive a crown either immediately or after a month. Researchers will check implant survival, gum health, and patient satisfaction after 12 months.

What this could mean

Active substance

dental implant

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that getting a tooth crown on the same day as implant placement works just as well as waiting 4 weeks, saving time and visits.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (100 people) comparing two established procedures, so it's unlikely to change practice dramatically. Risks include implant failure or infection.
