PERI IMPLANTITIS

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 split into two groups: one received a bone graft alone, the other received a bone graft…

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 ways to clean between teeth around dental implants: superfloss and interdental brushes. Fifty-two adults with mild gum disease around their implants were randomly assigned to use one of the two tools. The goal was to see which one better reduces plaque and b…

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 two gels—Hybenix and Chlosite—for treating peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Forty adults with at least one infected implant received professional cleaning followed by one of the gels. Over 9 months, researchers measured gum bleeding, swelli…

This study tested a non-surgical laser treatment for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. Forty adults with the infection were treated either with standard cleaning tools or with a combination of two lasers (Er:YAG and diode). Researchers measured gum pocket …

This study tested two extra cleaning methods—Er:YAG laser or erythritol air-polishing—alongside standard non-surgical treatment for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. 47 adults with infected implants were treated to see if these add-ons improved pocket dept…

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 implant and signs of infection received one of the treatments every 7-10 days for a mo…

This study tested a new method to fix 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 study included 63 adults aged 20 to 45 who nee…

This study tested whether pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can reduce harmful bacteria and improve gum health around dental implants. Thirty-five healthy adults with at least two missing teeth received PEMF treatment. Researchers measured changes in bacteria types and gum tis…

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 using either the guided or freehand technique. Researchers measured implant stabil…

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 how people with gum infections around dental implants perceive their condition and how it affects their quality of life. Researchers recruited 148 adults with at least one dental implant and signs of gum infection. Participants answered questionnaires about t…

This study looked at the free amino acids in saliva from 120 people with healthy gums, gum disease, or inflammation around dental implants. Researchers wanted to see if different amino acid patterns could help tell apart these conditions. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasiv…

This study looked at how well dental implants hold up over the long term. Researchers checked patient satisfaction, implant survival, and problems like infection or bone loss. They also studied markers of inflammation in saliva and gum fluid to understand what might lead to compl…

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

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 how being obese might affect the health of dental implants. Researchers measured signs of inflammation in the fluid around implants and compared obese and non-obese participants. The goal was to better understand if obesity increases the risk of implant probl…

This study tested how well full-ceramic dental bridges with a small extension (cantilever) work after being used for at least 1 year. 35 adults with dental implants took part. Researchers checked if the implants stayed in place, bone levels around the implant, and any problems li…

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 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…
