PERI-IMPLANTITIS

This study tested a new way to repair bone gaps that can happen when a dental implant is placed right after a tooth is pulled. Researchers used a plate made from the patient's own tooth to cover the gap, along with a tooth graft. The trial included 63 adults aged 20 to 45 who nee…

This study tested whether adding a collagen membrane to a bone graft helps treat peri-implantitis, an infection that causes bone loss around dental implants. 44 adults with this condition were randomly assigned to receive either a bone graft alone or a bone graft plus a collagen …

This study tested a non-surgical laser treatment for peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Forty adults with the condition were randomly assigned to receive either standard cleaning or a combination of two lasers (Er:YAG and diode). The goal was to see if the las…

This study tested whether adding a laser or an air-polishing device to standard deep cleaning improves treatment of peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. 47 adults with at least one affected implant took part. The goal was to reduce pocket depth and bleeding, but…

This study tested two cleaning tools—superfloss and interdental brushes—in 52 adults with gum disease around dental implants. Participants used one of the two methods, and researchers measured plaque and bleeding over time. The goal was to see which device works better for daily …

This study tested three different combinations of antiseptic mouthwashes and air-polishing powders to treat peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. 64 adults with at least one infected implant received one of the treatments every 7-10 days for a month. Researche…

This study tested whether an AI-powered chatbot can 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 daily tips and motivation, while the other received standard paper instruct…

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. Over nine months, the researchers measured gum bleedin…

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 looked at 192 healthy adults who had dental implants placed within the past five years. Researchers measured the angle of the implant crown and checked for signs of gum disease around the implant. The goal was to see if a steeper crown angle is linked to worse gum heal…

This study looked at the free amino acids in saliva from 120 people with healthy gums, gum disease, or inflammation around dental implants. The goal was to see if different amino acid patterns could help tell these conditions apart. Researchers hope this could lead to a simple, n…

This study looked at how people with gum disease around dental implants perceive their condition and how it affects their daily life and well-being. Researchers recruited 148 adults with at least one dental implant and signs of gum inflammation. Participants answered questionnair…

This study looked at whether stress hormones in the fluid around dental implants are linked to gum disease. Researchers measured cortisol, DHEA, and other markers in 62 adults with healthy implants, mild gum inflammation, or more serious implant-related gum disease. They also use…

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.

This study tested how well ceramic dental bridges with a small extension (cantilever) work after being used for at least one year. 35 adults with dental implants took part. Researchers checked if the implants stayed in place, bone levels around them, and any problems like breakag…

This study looked at how conditions like diabetes, smoking, heart disease, and osteoporosis affect the health of dental implants. Researchers examined 93 people with 314 implants that had been in place for at least three years. They measured gum inflammation, plaque buildup, and …

This study aimed to see if the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is linked to peri-implantitis, a condition that causes inflammation and loss of dental implants. Researchers measured virus levels in gum samples from 30 adults with and without the condition. The goal was to better understa…

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 infection. They also looked for risk factors that might lead to problem…

This study looked at levels of three specific proteins (TREM-1, MMP-8, and TIMP-1) in the fluid around dental implants in people with peri-implantitis, a gum disease affecting implants. Researchers measured these proteins in 54 healthy participants to see if they are linked to th…
