Early Healing of Immediate Implants Connected With Two Types of Healing Abutments: A Prospective Cohort Study

Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, for immediate implants placed into posterior sockets, customized healing abutments can facilitate closure of large sockets. Despite more pronounced incomplete defect fill, healing abutments consisting of polyether ether ketone and resin did not render an increased risk for periimplant bone loss or soft-tissue recession during the early healing period.
