Magnetic pulses may tame implant gum infection
NCT ID NCT07045636
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can reduce harmful bacteria and improve healing around dental implants. 35 healthy adults with at least two missing teeth took part. Researchers measured changes in bacteria types and gum tissue volume to see if PEMF helps control implant-related gum inflammation.
