Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study compares two types of abutment-prosthesis connections for dental implants: a newer internal conical system (Connect®) versus a traditional external flat system (multi-unit). Researchers want to see which one leads to less bone loss and better gum health around the implant. The study involves 40 people who need multiple implants in their lower jaw. It is currently suspended, so results are not yet available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Connect® abutment (device) vs. conventional multi-unit abutment (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help dentists choose the best abutment type to reduce bone loss and improve gum sealing around dental implants.
What could go wrong
This is a small, suspended study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply widely. The comparison is technical and may not lead to major clinical changes.
