Impact of Kangfuxin on Periodontal Health and Masticatory Function in Patients with Periodontitis Undergoing Implant Rehabilitation
Impact of Kangfuxin on Periodontal Health and Masticatory Function
Overview
This study evaluates the effects of Kangfuxin solution on periodontal health and masticatory function in chronic periodontitis patients undergoing implant rehabilitation. Results indicate significant improvements in probing depth, clinical attachment level, and bite force, alongside a low incidence of peri-implantitis.
Background
Chronic periodontitis affects a significant portion of the adult population and is a leading cause of tooth loss. The condition complicates dental implant success due to increased risk of peri-implant diseases. Adjunctive therapies like Kangfuxin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, may enhance outcomes in this high-risk group.

Key Findings
Mean probing depth decreased significantly from 4.8 mm to 3.4 mm (p < 0.001).
Clinical attachment level improved from 5.1 mm to 4.0 mm (p < 0.001).
Peri-implantitis incidence was reduced to 3.0%, compared to a historical benchmark of 12% (p = 0.001).
Bite force improved by 39.6% (p < 0.001).
Inflammatory biomarkers IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α decreased significantly (all p < 0.001).
Adverse events were minimal, with only 1.3% reporting mild mucosal irritation.
Clinical Implications
The findings suggest that Kangfuxin solution can be a beneficial adjunctive therapy in implant rehabilitation for patients with chronic periodontitis. Clinicians should consider its use to enhance peri-implant health and masticatory function while monitoring for minimal adverse effects.
Conclusion
Adjunctive Kangfuxin therapy demonstrates significant benefits for periodontal health and masticatory function in patients undergoing implant rehabilitation. Further randomized trials are necessary to confirm its efficacy in high-risk populations.
