Marginal bone loss

This study tests two methods of placing soft tissue grafts (from the cheek or roof of the mouth) over dental implants placed right after a tooth is pulled. The goal is to see which technique leads to better healing and less bone loss around the implant. Twenty healthy adults with…

This study looked at 40 adults aged 35–55 with a history of periodontitis (gum disease) who needed a dental implant. Each received one of two implant surface types: sandblasted acid-etched or plasma-sprayed. Researchers measured bone loss around the implant and gum health over on…

This study looked back at the dental records of 256 people who got lower jaw dental implants. Researchers used panoramic X-rays to measure bone loss around the implants shortly after they were placed and during follow-up visits. The goal was to understand how much bone loss happe…

This study examined fluid from around dental implants to find biological markers linked to early bone loss. Researchers compared implants with and without early bone loss in 59 patients. They measured several proteins in the gum fluid to see if any could help explain why some imp…

This study looked at 142 people who had a sinus lift procedure using cow bone mineral before getting dental implants. Researchers measured how much bone was left around the implants years later, and checked if the original jawbone height, implant type, smoking, or diabetes played…
