PERI-IMPLANT MUCOSITIS

This study tested whether a customized healing abutment made of PEEK material can guide gum tissue healing after immediate implant placement in back teeth. Twenty healthy adults with non-restorable posterior teeth received implants with either a customized PEEK abutment or a stan…

This study tested whether a gel containing chlorhexidine and xanthan can help treat gum inflammation around dental implants. Researchers gave 182 patients either the gel plus standard cleaning or just standard cleaning. The gel is designed to release medicine slowly over 30 days.…

This study tested whether adding two special gels to standard cleaning helps treat gum inflammation around dental implants. 92 adults with at least one inflamed implant received either standard cleaning alone or cleaning plus the gels. The gels aim to reduce bleeding and plaque. …

This study tested whether an AI-powered chatbot could help people with dental implants take better care of their teeth and gums. 110 adults with implants were split into two groups: one used the chatbot for personalized oral hygiene tips, while the other received standard printed…

This study tested two cleaning tools—superfloss and interdental brushes—in 52 adults with gum inflammation around dental implants. Each person used one tool daily along with an electric toothbrush. Researchers measured plaque and bleeding to see which worked better. The goal is t…

This study looked at 272 dental implants in 165 adults to understand what affects gum health around implants. Researchers measured things like plaque, bleeding, and gum thickness. They compared implants with healthy gums to those with early-stage gum inflammation (peri-implant mu…

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 stress plays a role in gum disease around dental implants. Researchers measured stress hormones and anxiety levels in 62 adults with healthy implants, mild gum inflammation, or more serious implant-related gum disease. The goal was to understand how s…

This study examined 192 adults with dental implants to see if the angle of the crown (the visible tooth part) affects gum health. Researchers measured the emergence angle and checked for signs of gum inflammation or bone loss. The goal was to understand how implant design might i…

This study looked at the free amino acids in saliva from 120 people with healthy gums, gingivitis, periodontitis, healthy implants, implant mucositis, or implantitis. Researchers wanted to see if different amino acid patterns could help tell these conditions apart. The goal is to…

This completed study looked at how people with dental implant problems (like gum inflammation or infection around the implant) perceive their condition and how it affects their daily life. Researchers gave 148 patients two questionnaires to measure their awareness and quality of …
