Testing special implant parts to improve gum healing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special treatment for the part of a dental implant that sticks through the gums (the abutment). The goal is to see if the treatment helps gum tissue and bone attach better around the implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least 2 dental implants that need a healing cap (abutment) placed.
- Each implant has at least 4 mm of firm, healthy gum around it.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in good general health or have only a mild medical condition (like well-controlled high blood pressure or diabetes).
- You do not smoke heavily (no more than 10 cigarettes per day).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special hydrophilic (water-friendly) coating on the dental abutment improves gum tissue healing around dental implants. It may help people who need implants and have healthy gums.
This study looks at how well the gum tissue “takes” around dental implants when different implant materials are used. It may help improve outcomes for people who need replacement teeth.
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 whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
This trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
This trial tests whether adding a soft-tissue gum graft procedure can improve healing and reduce inflammation in moderate to severe peri-implantitis (inflammation and tissue damage around a dental implant). It may help patients by targeting both the gum tissue and the area around the implant that is bleeding or has deep pockets.
