Implant crown shape and gum health study
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether the shape of the implant crown (the part above the gum) affects the health of the gum and bone around a single front tooth implant. It's for people with a missing upper front tooth, healthy gums, and thick gum tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and in good general health.
- You have a single missing tooth in the upper front area (between teeth 1 and 5 on each side), with healthy teeth next to it.
- Your gums are healthy with no deep pockets, and you have a 'thick' gum type.
- You don't smoke, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no other dental implants nearby.
- You have a thick enough jawbone (at least 1.5 mm) on the cheek side of the missing tooth, as seen on a CT scan.

This trial compares different shapes and heights of the abutment (the connector piece between the implant and crown) to see how they affect gum and bone healing. It is for people who need a single or few back teeth replaced with a dental implant.
This trial tests how the shape of a dental implant crown affects your gum and bone health. It might help you if you have a dental implant that is ready to receive a crown.
This study tests how well the gum tissue heals around a special custom healing cap made from a strong white material (zirconia composite) placed on a dental implant. It may be a good option if you need a single tooth replaced and have healthy gums and bone.
This study tests a new type of healing cap for dental implants placed right after a tooth is removed. It aims to preserve the natural gum and bone shape for a better final result.
This study looks at whether the way a dental implant is restored (the “prosthetic emergence profile,” or how it comes up through the gum) affects how often gum and tissue problems happen around implants. It may help clinicians choose restoration styles that lower the risk of peri-implant diseases.
This study tests a procedure to improve the shape of the gum and bone around a dental implant in people with thin gums. It uses a special graft material to make the area thicker and more stable for a better-looking result.
