Summary

This study looks at whether the inner shape (concave or convex) of a full-arch dental implant bridge affects bone loss around the implants. Researchers will measure bone levels and plaque buildup in 50 adults who have had these bridges for at least a year. The goal is to find out if a certain shape leads to better long-term implant health.
