Thesis summary. Dental implant has become a popular solution to restore tooth functions. However, peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implant mucositis, pose serious clinical challenges to the long-term success of dental implant. Poor soft tissue integration onto.
A comparative vertical prospective study design was employed, comparing 2 groups of patients receiving dental implants in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. A group of patients received implants (Frialit-2 implant system, Germany) coated with natural coral (obtained from the National Tissue Bank, Universiti Sains Malaysia) and the other group received non-coated implants.Research leading to the development of newer dental implant materials as well as understanding the cellular and acellular healing mechanisms between implant surface and surrounding hard and soft tissues have been in progress for over six decades.
The restoration of dental implants used to be considered a highly advanced procedure for oral health care that was reserved for specialists and required training beyond the regular dental school curriculum. However, most dental schools have come to realize how valuable the service of providing implant-stabilized prostheses is to pa-.
