Plasma power: could a cold gas boost dental implant success?
NCT ID NCT07348770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether treating dental implants with cold plasma before placement helps them become more stable early on. Eleven patients each received four implants, each treated with a different plasma method or none at all. The researchers measured implant stability over eight weeks to compare the effects of the different plasma systems.
