New dental implant design aims to keep jawbone healthier
NCT ID NCT07310979
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new type of dental implant part, called a triple-abutment system, designed to support three replacement teeth on a single implant. Thirty healthy adults missing three teeth in a row will receive the implant and be followed for up to 18 months to check bone levels and gum health. The goal is to see if this design helps keep the surrounding bone and tissue stable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Triple-Abutment System with Hyperbolic Paraboloid Geometry (dental device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more stable and bone-friendly option for replacing multiple missing teeth with a single implant.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The device is new and long-term risks are unknown.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
A convenience sample will be composed of adult patients with three adjacent missing teeth who underwent placement of a Morse taper dental implant, followed by a healing period of approximately three months for osseointegration. After confirmation of osseointegration, participants will be eligible for fixed implant-supported rehabilitation using a triple-abutment system designed to support a three-unit prosthesis on a single implant, according to clinical planning.
