DENTAL IMPLANT

This study tested two different surface treatments on dental implants to see which one helps the implant bond better with the jawbone. Fifty volunteers who were missing all their lower teeth received two implants—one with each surface treatment—in a 'split-mouth' design. Research…

This study followed 96 people for over 5 years to see how well dental implants placed using different surgical guidance methods held up over time. Researchers checked the health of the bone and gums around the implants and asked patients about their quality of life. The goal was …

This study tested two different materials to help build up thin jawbone so dental implants could be placed. Researchers compared a patient's own blood-derived material (platelet-rich fibrin) against a modified animal-derived bone graft (hyaluronate-enriched xenograft). The goal w…

This study tested three different ways to prepare the metal base of a dental crown before attaching it to an implant. Researchers wanted to see which method best kept the crown securely in place and prevented it from breaking over one year. They compared a standard approach to tw…

This study tested different approaches for placing dental implants immediately after tooth extraction. Researchers compared two implant surface types and tested whether low-level laser therapy could improve healing. The goal was to see which combination resulted in better implant…

This study compared two approaches for preparing the jawbone for a dental implant after a tooth is removed. Researchers tested whether letting the area heal naturally works as well as adding a bone graft material. The study involved 24 healthy adults and measured how much soft ti…

This study tested whether using a custom 3D-printed surgical guide improves dental implant placement compared to the traditional freehand method. Researchers compared two groups of 30 total patients, measuring how stable the implants were and how much pain patients felt after sur…

This study tested two common, low-cost dental materials to see which one works better for shaping the gums around a new dental implant. Researchers compared a light-cure composite material to a material called Protemp in 30 patients. The goal was to find which material helps crea…

This study compared two types of dental implants for people with thin jawbone in the back of the mouth. Thirty participants received either narrow implants or standard implants with bone grafting during the same procedure. Researchers measured bone health, implant success, and pa…

This study compared two types of lower-jaw dentures attached to implants. Researchers tested whether a new flexible material was more comfortable, easier to keep clean, and led to happier patients than the traditional hard plastic. Sixteen people aged 60-70 received either the fl…

This study aimed to see which type of surgical guide is more accurate for placing dental implants in patients missing their back teeth. Researchers compared a newer computer-designed (CAD-CAM) guide to a traditional lab-made guide. They measured how closely the final implant posi…

This study aimed to understand if obesity makes people more prone to inflammation and disease around their dental implants. Researchers compared 80 adults with dental implants, grouping them by weight, and measured signs of gum health and inflammation markers in fluid around the …

This study looked back at medical records to see if taking common oral medications for bone health (anti-resorptive agents) is linked to how well dental implants succeed. Researchers reviewed the records of 300 patients who got implants at a major hospital, comparing success rate…

This study compared two established surgical techniques used to build up jawbone before placing a dental implant. Researchers observed 28 healthy adults to see if one method led to better healing, higher bone density, or a more comfortable patient experience. The study did not ch…
