DENTAL IMPLANT

This study looked at two types of dental implants—narrow and standard—placed along with bone regeneration in the back of the jaw where bone is thin. Thirty adults with healthy gums and enough bone height took part. The goal was to see which implant works better and causes less di…

This study tested whether using a special gum graft material (acellular dermal matrix) around new front tooth implants helps improve gum thickness and reduce bone loss. Sixteen adults with a damaged front tooth received an implant right after tooth removal, with half getting the …

This study looked at 27 adults with a missing lower back tooth who received a zirconia crown on a dental implant. Researchers tested three different surface treatments on the metal part of the crown to see which one best prevents the crown from loosening or breaking over one year…

This study tested two different types of implant-supported dentures in 16 people aged 60 to 70 who had no teeth. The goal was to see which denture design improves fit, comfort, and oral health. Researchers measured gum health and checked for yeast growth to find the better option…

This study looked at different ways to place a single dental implant right after a tooth is pulled. It compared two types of implant surfaces and whether adding a low-level laser treatment helps with healing. The goal was to see which approach gives the best stability and keeps t…

This study tested two ways to thicken a narrow upper jawbone so dental implants can be placed. Thirty-four people with thin jawbones received either a blood-based or gel-enriched bone graft through a small tunnel under the gum. After six months, the amount of new bone was measure…

This study tested two types of surface treatments on dental implants in 50 adults who had no teeth in their lower jaw. The implants act as artificial tooth roots to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Researchers measured how well the implants bonded with the jawbone and how th…

This study tested two common, low-cost dental materials—light-cure composite and Protemp—for making custom healing caps after a dental implant. Thirty adults received these caps to see which material helped the gums heal better and look more natural. The goal is to give dentists …

This study followed 96 adults who received dental implants to replace missing teeth. Researchers compared two methods: freehand placement and guided surgery. Over up to 67 months, they checked how well the implants survived and any complications. The goal was to see if the more p…

This study tested whether using a 3D-printed surgical guide helps place dental implants more precisely than the traditional freehand method. Thirty adults with missing upper teeth received implants either with or without the guide. The researchers measured implant stability right…

This study tested whether low-level laser therapy can speed up the healing of dental implants and improve the health of the surrounding gum tissue. Twenty healthy adults who needed a dental implant received either laser treatment or standard care. The researchers measured bone lo…

This study tested two different attachment systems (Equator and Novaloc) for lower dentures held in place by dental implants. The goal was to see which one gives better denture retention and improves quality of life for people with no teeth. Twenty-six adults aged 60-70 participa…

This study looked at 24 healthy adults to see if the jawbone can heal naturally after a special tooth-saving procedure called socket shield therapy, instead of using a bone graft before placing a dental implant. The goal was to measure how much soft tissue grows into the gap. The…

This study looked at 27 people needing dental implants to see if computer-designed surgical guides (CAD-CAM) are more accurate than traditional ones. Researchers measured how much the actual implant position differed from the planned position. The goal was to find out which metho…

This study reviewed medical records of 300 dental implant patients to see if taking oral anti-resorptive agents (drugs that strengthen bones) affects implant success. Researchers compared success rates between those who used these drugs and those who did not. The goal is to bette…

This study looked at two common methods dentists use to add bone to the jaw before placing a dental implant. Researchers compared how well the gum healed, how dense the new bone became, and how patients felt during and after surgery. The study involved 28 healthy adults, but the …

This study looked at whether placing a dental implant 4 millimeters or 6 millimeters below the gum line affects bone loss around the implant after a tooth is pulled. Thirty-five healthy adults who needed an immediate implant after a tooth extraction took part. The goal was to see…

This study compared two types of attachments (Equator vs ball-and-socket) for implant-supported dentures in the lower jaw. Twenty-four adults aged 55-60 with no teeth in the lower jaw participated. Researchers measured bone changes around the implants and how bite forces were dis…

This study looked at how obesity impacts the health of dental implants. Researchers measured inflammation in the fluid around implants in 80 people—some with obesity and some without. The goal was to see if obesity leads to more inflammation and implant problems.
