Pink vs grey: which dental implant part heals gums faster?
NCT ID NCT07246499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two different surfaces for dental implant parts (abutments): a standard grey machined one and a pink anodised one. The goal is to see which helps the gum tissue heal better after tooth replacement. About 25 healthy adults who need at least 4 dental implants will take part, and healing will be checked over 3 months using protein analysis and clinical exams.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Number of missing teeth and, therefore, number of implants required. * A minimum of 4 implants, either single or bridges, must always be used in order to place 2 machined abutments and 2 anodised abutments. * Sufficient bone dimensions for a minimum implant diameter of 3.5-4 mm and length of 6-8 mm, without prior bone regeneration. * Patients who require indirect breast lift simultaneously with implant placement may be included in the study. * Minimum keratinised mucosa dimension of 1.5-2.0 mm in all directions. * Previous healthy bone condition for 3 months without infection. * Periodontal health with no history of periodontitis (Silness and Löe plaque index, bleeding on probing (BOP) \< 3 mm). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients unable to complete follow- up. * Implant failures. * Contamination of the sample during transfer from the abutment to the test tube.
