DENTAL IMPLANTS

This study tested whether a natural blood product called PRGF (platelet-rich plasma) helps preserve bone after tooth extraction better than a standard bone graft. Thirty adults needing a tooth pulled and later a dental implant took part. The goal was to see which method keeps mor…

This study looked at 44 adults who needed a single dental implant in the back of the mouth and had a small bone gap on the cheek side. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either a connective tissue graft or guided bone regeneration to fix the gap. The researchers measu…

This study tested whether adding a natural bone graft from cows mixed with hyaluronic acid helps dental implants fuse better in the jaw. Sixteen adults with a badly decayed front tooth or premolar received an immediate implant, with or without the graft. The researchers measured …

This study tested two methods to make gum tissue thicker around dental implants in the front of the mouth. 36 adults who needed a single tooth implant received either a graft of their own gum tissue or a collagen matrix. The goal was to see which approach better improved gum thic…

This study looked at whether a newer drilling method called osseodensification causes less pain and anxiety than the standard method for dental implants. 72 adults who needed implants took part. The goal was to see if the new technique improves comfort and implant stability.

This study examined how conditions like diabetes, smoking, heart disease, and osteoporosis affect the health of dental implants. Researchers looked at 93 people with 314 implants that had been in place for at least three years. They found that these systemic factors can influence…

This study looked at whether a special stitching technique (periosteal sutures) helps bone grafts heal better when placing dental implants in the upper front jaw. Forty people took part. The main goal was to measure bone thickness around the implant using special X-rays. No direc…

This study looked at whether using a computer-guided navigation system (X-Guide) helps new dentists place dental implants more accurately than doing it freehand. Sixty patients with missing teeth received implants placed by novice surgeons. The researchers measured how close the …

This study looked at 40 adults aged 35-55 with a history of periodontitis (gum disease) who needed dental implants. Researchers compared how much bone was lost around implants with two different surface textures over one year. The goal was simply to observe differences, not to te…

This study tested whether treating dental implants with cold plasma before placement helps them become more stable early on. Eleven patients each received four implants, each treated with a different plasma method or none at all. The researchers measured implant stability over ei…
