To investigate the potential of piezoelectric technology as a nonsurgical treatment for peri-implantitis.
Approach:
Research Leadership: The study will be led by Ronaldo Santana, DMD, a Professor and Chair at Temple University’s Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry.
Technology Evaluation: The study will evaluate Oral Biolife's piezoelectric regenerative platform for its application in peri-implantitis treatment.
Key Findings:
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition that can lead to bone loss and implant failure.
The NIH grant will support research beyond current periodontal bone regeneration applications.
Oral Biolife's technology aims to convert mechanical forces into bioelectric signals to stimulate bone formation.
