UV light and timing: could a faster dental implant work better?
NCT ID NCT07700914
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests three different schedules for placing permanent teeth on dental implants that have been treated with ultraviolet light. The implants are placed in the upper back jaw of people who have lost one or more teeth. Researchers will measure how stable the implants are and how much bone is lost around them over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UV-photofunctionalized dental implants with different loading protocols (immediate, early, conventional)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help determine the best timing for placing permanent teeth on UV-treated implants, potentially shortening treatment time and improving implant stability.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Different loading protocols carry risks of implant failure or bone loss.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * • Patients with missed single tooth or multiple teeth in posterior maxilla * Patients Free from any para-functional habits. * Patient with Adequate inter-arch relation and inter-occlusal space to accommodate the prosthetic restoration. * Patient with good oral hygiene. * Patients Willing to participate in the study's follow-up intervals. Exclusion Criteria: * • Patients with any local or systemic disease that absolutely contraindicate implant placement or surgery. * Pregnancy. * Patients with any pathological lesion or aggressive periodontal disease at the planned surgical site. * Patients on drugs that could affect bone healing process such as bisphosphonate. * Smokers. * Uncooperative patients.
