Description
Aykut Can Balkanlıoğlu and Izzet Acikan test cold plasma surface treatment for early dental implant hold. In 2026, the forward-looking single-center randomized within-patient trial compares untreated implants with cold atmospheric plasma, vacuum plasma, and argon jet plasma, each applied sixty seconds before placement. The trial analyzed forty implants in ten patients. Implant hold dips transiently before biological secondary hold takes over.
All implants remained in place with no adverse events, and baseline stability quotients were comparable. Controls dipped at day twenty-eight while plasma-treated implants rose steadily, with a clear group-by-time interaction. At day fifty-six, plasma groups exceeded controls by 10.0, 8.9, and 8.3 stability units respectively. The authors call for larger forward-looking, site-standardized trials.
