NCT ID NCT04695899
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well ceramic (zirconia) dental implants work for replacing a single missing tooth. About 14 people with one missing tooth received a ceramic implant and later a ceramic crown. The main goal is to see how many implants are still working over time.
