Clinical Trial Summary

A pilot, prospective, randomized clinical trial is proposed. It is primarily aimed at assessing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine and bone metabolism mediators adjacent to Laser-Lok microgrooved (LL) or machined (M) transmucosal healing abutments. The pilot study would seek recruitment of 12 subjects requiring replacement of a single, toothbound molar or premolar in the maxilla or mandible with an implant-supported restoration.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this research study is to compare two different implant abutment designs, microgrooved and machined. The implant abutment is the dental prosthetic part that connects the implant to the crown. As a part of this study, subjects will have a dental implant surgically placed in their jaw bone. The implant will serve as the artificial root. After the implant heals, subjects will have the abutment and crown placed on the implant. This study will compare levels of inflammation next to the implant abutment. Both implant abutment designs are FDA approved but differ in microtexturing. This study will determine if these texture differences have any impact on the healing of subjects' jaw bone and gums after implant surgery. ;
