Dental implant breakthrough: shape and height may save your jawbone!
NCT ID NCT07509281
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the shape and height of the part connecting a dental implant to a crown (the abutment) affects bone loss around the implant. About 180 adults with missing back teeth will get implants with different abutment designs. Researchers will track bone changes and gum health for one year to find the best design for long-term implant success.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older. * Posterior edentulism (premolars/molars). * Good general and oral health, with controlled plaque and bleeding indices. * Sufficient bone height and width for implant placement without the need for bone regeneration procedures. Patients who require indirect sinus lift procedure simultaneously with implant placement may be included in the study. * Presence of at least 2 mm of keratinized mucosa around the dental implant. * Stable occlusion and healthy periodontium. * Insertion torque ≥ 35 Ncm at the time of implant placement. * Willingness to comply with study protocol and attend scheduled follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of medical conditions that contraindicate implant surgery, such as heavy smoking (\>10 cigarettes per day), severe bruxism, pregnancy or breastfeeding, bisphosphonate therapy, and patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy in the head and/or neck area. * Active periodontal disease or peri-implant infection. * Uncooperative patients or patients unable to complete follow- up. * Implant failures.
