Photofunctionalization and Hyaluronic Acid for Posterior Maxillary Implants

Enhancing Implant Success in the Posterior Maxilla: The Impact of Photofunctionalization and Hyaluronic Acid

This randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of UV photofunctionalization and hyaluronic acid on dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed during follow-up

The study compares conventional implants, UV-photofunctionalized implants, and UV-photofunctionalized implants with hyaluronic acid application in the posterior maxilla. Implant stability and peri-implant tissue changes will be evaluated clinically and radiographically during follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with missed single tooth or multiple teeth in posterior maxilla.
• Patients Free from any para-functional habits.
• Patient with Adequate inter-arch relation and inter-occlusal space to accommodate the prosthetic restoration.
• Patient with good oral hygiene.
• Patients Willing to participate in the study's follow-up intervals.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with any local or systemic disease that absolute contraindicate implant placement or surgery.
• Pregnancy.
• Patients with any pathological lesion or aggressive periodontal disease at the planned surgical site.
• Patients on drugs that could affect bone healing process such as bisphosphonate.
• Heavy Smokers for more than 10 cigarettes a day.
• Uncooperative patients.
