NCT ID NCT07194447
First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tested whether applying a gel containing simvastatin (a cholesterol drug) around dental implants helps them heal more firmly and reduces bone loss. Forty-two adults received implants and were randomly given either the simvastatin gel or a plain gel. Implant stability was measured at 8 and 16 weeks, and bone levels were checked with a 3D scan. The goal was to see if the drug improves implant integration and preserves surrounding bone.
