Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Bacground: Implant failure may necessitate the need for another surgical procedure to improve implant survival. Photofunctionalization with UV is a practice that can positively affect dental implant success and osseointegration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the photofunctionalization process on the bone quality around the implant.

Methods: In the study, 42 implants were evaluated using the Fractal Analysis method from the panoramic radiographs taken before and after the implant. The analysis of the data was done with the SPSS 26 program and worked with a 95% confidence level. In the test group, there was a statistically significant difference between the 1st panoramic measurement and the 2nd panoramic measurement (p=0.044\<0.05) and the bone fractal score increased.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental: photofunctionalized implant inserted

Dental implants were subjected to the photofunctionalization process and then immediately inserted into the bone on the experimental side of the mouth

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Photofunctionalized dental implant surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Dental implants subjected to photofunctionalization were placed in the experimental area of the mouth.

Control: Dental implant placement without photofunctionalization process

Dental implants were inserted in the bone on the contralateral side of the mouth without photofunctionalization

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Dental implant surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Dental implants not subjected to photofunctionalization were placed in the bone on the contralateral side of the mouth
