Summary

This study checks if treating dental implants with UV light (photo-functionalization) reduces the amount of tiny titanium particles they release into the body. Titanium implants can corrode over time, possibly causing inflammation or other problems. Researchers will measure titanium levels in 64 participants right after implant surgery and again three months later to see if the UV treatment helps.
