Abstract

Purpose: The aims of this study were (1) to investigate effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide treatment on early osseointegration, and (2) to determine the best timing for early loading.

Highlights

  • Missing teeth compromise oral health, biofunction, and aesthetical appearance

  • Even it is well recognized that, according to numerous clinical studies, the success rate of dental implants is 95 to 98 %, the success implant treatment should be supported by various important factors, including biocompatibility, biomechanical compatibility, and surface characteristics, implant design and surface modification, health condition and bone quality of a patient, and surgical techniques

  • Aiming at the appropriate timing for an initial loading, we have investigated the synergistic effect of photofunctionalization treatment by UV energy on the implant surface and a piezosurgery technique and reported that (i) the UV surface alteration and enough blood supply by piezosurgery preparation exhibited synergistic effects on improvement of ISQ scales, making the assured loading timing, and (ii) even lower the ISQ scale during the bone healing stage, they are still acceptable level for pursuing early loading [10]

Summary

Introduction

Missing teeth compromise oral health, biofunction, and aesthetical appearance. Since the 1950s, dental implant treatments have become the gold standard in teeth replacement. It was reported that 69% of adults with age-ranging from 35 to 44 years old have lost at least one permanent teeth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay [2,3]. By age 74, 26% of adults have lost all permanent teeth [4]. It is obvious that appropriate dental implant treatment enhances patient’s oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL). Even it is well recognized that, according to numerous clinical studies, the success rate of dental implants is 95 to 98 %, the success implant treatment should be supported by various important factors, including biocompatibility, biomechanical compatibility, and surface characteristics, implant design and surface modification, health condition and bone quality of a patient, and surgical techniques.
