Influence of Implant Crown Transmucosal Contour Design on Soft and Hard Tissue Clinical Outcomes

Not Applicable
Conditions
Gum Disease
Interventions
Procedure: Implant crown delivery
Registration Number
NCT06185075
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate how the crown's shape under the gums will influence the gum tissue around dental implants.

Detailed Description

This research is studying the transmucosal contour, or shape of crowns (white-colored tooth structure that sits above the gum) under the gums on dental implants. Participants will be randomly selected for the dental implant crown to be designed with either a straight or concave transmucosal contour, and followed up on for 1 year after crown delivery.
