Summary
This study tested whether a customized healing abutment made of PEEK material can guide gum tissue healing after immediate implant placement in back teeth. Twenty healthy adults with non-restorable posterior teeth received implants with either a customized PEEK abutment or a standard one. Researchers measured gum height, width, and volume to see if the customized design improved soft tissue outcomes.
