About this trial
The purpose of this study is to compare how well our research participants heal with two different kind of healing abutments used. One is pre-fabricated, meaning it is made to fit anyone, and the other is customized to fit the subject specifically. Much of what will occur is 'standard of care' meaning it is part of a subject's typical dental treatment and the research team wants to just look at the data for this research study, as well.
