PERI-IMPLANTITIS

This study tested two surgical treatments for peri-implantitis, a serious gum infection around dental implants. Both methods used bone grafting, but one group also received a soft tissue graft from the palate. The trial involved 32 adults and measured gum health, bone loss, and p…

This study tested whether adding a small piece of donated gum tissue (dermal matrix) during surgery for infected dental implants helps the gums heal better and look nicer. 48 adults with implant infections took part. The approach used a special cleaning device and then either sta…

This study tested whether pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can reduce harmful bacteria and improve healing around dental implants. 35 healthy adults with at least two missing teeth took part. Researchers measured changes in bacteria types and gum tissue volume to see if PEMF …

This study tested different combinations of antiseptic rinses and air-polishing powders to clean infected dental implants without surgery. Sixty-four adults with peri-implantitis received one of three treatments over a month. Researchers measured changes in pocket depth and bleed…

This study tested whether adding a collagen membrane to a bone graft helps treat peri-implantitis, a serious gum infection around dental implants. 44 adults with bone loss around implants received either the graft alone or the graft plus a collagen cover. Researchers measured gum…

This study tested two non-surgical ways to treat peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Forty patients were split into two groups: one received standard ultrasonic cleaning with saline, the other got a combination of Er:YAG and diode lasers. Researchers measured g…

Peri-implantitis is a common gum infection around dental implants that can lead to bone loss and implant failure. This study tested whether adding Er:YAG laser or erythritol air-polishing to standard mechanical cleaning improves outcomes. Forty-seven adults with at least one affe…

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 whether using a piece of a patient's own tooth can help repair bone gaps around new dental implants placed right after a tooth is pulled. 63 adults aged 20 to 45 with a damaged front tooth were treated. Some got the standard implant, some got an extra tooth g…

This study tested two gels, Hybenix and Chlosite, for treating peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Forty adults with at least one infected implant received a professional cleaning followed by one of the gels. Researchers tracked gum bleeding, swelling, and bone…

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. Researchers measured implant stability right aft…

This study follows people for 10 years after they had surgery for peri-implantitis, a serious gum infection around dental implants. Researchers compare two surgical approaches: using a bone graft alone versus a bone graft with a resorbable membrane. The goal is to see which metho…

This study followed 55 people with dental implants for 5 years to see if their history of gum disease (aggressive, chronic, or none) affected implant health. Participants received regular dental cleanings. Researchers measured bone loss, gum inflammation, and implant survival. Th…

This completed study looked at 100 partially toothless patients with dental implants to understand why some implants develop peri-implantitis (infection and bone loss) while others stay healthy. Researchers focused on local factors like implant position and gum tissue characteris…

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 examined 30 adults with dental implants to see if the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is linked to peri-implantitis, a disease that can cause implant loss. Researchers measured virus levels in gum samples and compared them to the severity of gum pockets. The goal was to bette…

This study looked at 54 people with peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Researchers measured three substances (TREM-1, MMP-8, and TIMP-1) in the fluid around the implants. The goal was to see if these markers could help understand or diagnose the condition bett…

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 tested how well dental implants with ceramic extensions (cantilevers) work after at least 1 year. Researchers followed 35 healthy adults who needed replacement teeth. They checked implant survival, bone changes, and any complications. The goal was to see if this approa…

This study followed 163 people who got dental implants between 1999 and 2005 to see how well the implants held up over time. Researchers checked patient satisfaction, implant survival, bone loss, and signs of inflammation. They also looked for risk factors that might lead to prob…

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 obesity influences the health of tissues around dental implants. Researchers measured gum inflammation and collected fluid samples from 80 adults with implants—half with obesity and half without. They checked for signs of inflammation like probi…

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 …
