Evaluation of the Bone Structure Surrounding Photofunctionalized Implants Using the Fractal Analysis Method: A Split-mouth Randomised Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Photofunctionalized dental implant surgery and Dental implant surgery for Dental Implants. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.

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