New study compares implant connectors for better jawbone health
NCT ID NCT07333235
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 14 men with no teeth in their lower jaw to compare two types of connectors (multiunit abutments vs. OT Equator abutments) for implant-supported dentures. The goal was to see which connector led to less bone loss around the implants over 9 months. X-rays were taken right after the dentures were placed and again at 3, 6, and 9 months to measure bone changes.
