This study investigates the clinical efficacy and impact of the use of anatomic healing abutments (AHAs) on the healing and stability of peri-implant soft tissue in patients with single-tooth implants. The focus is on the optimization of treatment procedures and the long-term functionality and esthetics of implant-supported restorations.
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Intervention group: Use of anatomical healing abutments (AHAs)
In the intervention group, anatomical healing abutments (AHAs) are used either directly during implant placement or after compl

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Procedural efficiency in the clinical section WHAT: Reduction of clinical treatment time through the use of anatomic healing abutments (AHAs). WHEN: Time points of recording: T1: During the clinical phase, when placing the healing abutments and during the digital impression. T2: After completion of the digital impression and preparation for the prosthetic restoration. HOW: Time measurement of the clinical work processes (e.g. insertion of the abutment, scanning) in seconds, recorded by the treating dentist using a stopwatch. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Procedural efficiency in the laboratory section WHAT: Time required for the digital design and fabrication of the prosthetic restoration. WHEN: Times of recording: T3: During the design and fabrication of the prosthetic restoration in the laboratory. HOW: Time measurement of the laboratory work processes (CAD/CAM design time) in seconds, recorded by the dental technician. | — |
