PERI-IMPLANTITIS

This study tested whether adding a special laser or an air-polishing device to standard deep cleaning helps control gum infection around dental implants (peri-implantitis). 47 adults with infected implants received standard cleaning plus one of the two extra treatments. The goal …

This study tested three different cleaning methods for treating peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. 64 adults with implant infections received one of three combinations of antiseptic rinse and air-polishing powder over one month. The goal was to see which me…

This study looked at 44 people with peri-implantitis, a serious gum infection around dental implants that causes bone loss. Researchers compared two surgical treatments: using a bone graft alone versus using a bone graft plus a collagen membrane. They measured changes in gum pock…

This study tested a new method to repair bone gaps around dental implants placed right after tooth removal. 63 adults with damaged front teeth received implants alone, with a tooth graft, or with a tooth graft plus a tooth plate. The tooth plate group showed better bone healing a…

This study tested whether an AI-powered chatbot could help people with dental implants take better care of their teeth and gums. 110 adults were split into two groups: one used the chatbot for daily tips and motivation, while the other received standard care with leaflets and hyg…

This study tested two gels—Hybenix and Chlosite—for treating peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Forty adults with the condition received professional cleaning plus one of the gels. Researchers tracked gum bleeding, swelling, and bone loss over 9 months to see …

This study tested a non-surgical laser treatment for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. Forty adults with the condition received either standard cleaning or a combination of two lasers. Researchers measured pocket depth, bleeding, and bacteria levels before…

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 tools and were checked for plaque and bleeding. The goal was to see which tool keeps implants cleaner and healthier.

This study tested whether using a 3D-printed surgical guide helps place dental implants more accurately than the traditional freehand method. Thirty adults with missing upper teeth received implants using either a guide or freehand technique. The researchers measured implant stab…

This study looked at the free amino acids in the saliva of 120 people with healthy gums, gum disease, or implant-related inflammation. The goal was to see if different amino acid patterns could help tell these conditions apart without invasive tests. Researchers measured pocket d…

This study measured three specific proteins (TREM-1, MMP-8, and TIMP-1) in the fluid around dental implants in 54 people with peri-implantitis, an infection around implants. The goal was to see if these proteins are linked to the disease. Researchers used a lab test called ELISA …

This study looked at 35 people who got ceramic dental bridges with a small extension (cantilever) attached to dental implants. The goal was to see how well the implants and bridges survived and worked after at least one year. Researchers checked for bone changes, complications, a…

This study looked at how obesity affects the health of dental implants. Researchers measured inflammation markers in 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 examined how conditions like diabetes, smoking, heart disease, and osteoporosis influence the health of dental implants. Researchers looked at 93 patients with implants that had been in place for at least three years. The goal was to see which health factors are linked…

This study investigated if the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is linked to peri-implantitis, a serious infection around dental implants that can lead to implant loss. Researchers measured EBV levels in 30 adults with infected implants and compared them to those with healthy implants. T…

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 or diseased implants. They also used questionnaires to check anxiety and depression levels.…

This study looked at how people with gum disease around dental implants perceive their condition and how it affects their daily life. Researchers surveyed 148 adults using two questionnaires to measure their views and quality of life. The goal was to better understand patient exp…

This study looked at 192 adults with dental implants to see if the angle of the crown (the visible tooth part) affects gum health around the implant. Researchers measured the emergence angle and checked for signs of gum inflammation or disease. The goal was to understand how impl…

This study looked at 163 people who got dental implants between 1999 and 2005 to see how they were doing years later. Researchers checked patient satisfaction, implant survival, bone loss, and signs of infection. They also studied saliva and gum fluid to understand inflammation a…
