Dental implant design showdown: which connection wins for healthy gums?
NCT ID NCT03787355
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 30 people who needed two neighboring upper teeth replaced with dental implants. Researchers compared two different implant designs to see which one helped the gum tissue (papilla) grow better between the implants. The goal was to find out if the type of connection between the implant and the crown affects gum health and bone loss over time.
