“…However, controversial results have also been reported. For instance, no statistically significant differences in implant stability or MBL between photofunctionalized group and control group were observed by Heo et al and Zaheer et al [ 28 , 32 ]. Thus, it is essential to systematically analyze the quantitative assessment of the clinical effects of photofunctionalization in order to provide suggestions for future trials and clinical practice.…”

“…However, whether photofunctionalization has a positive impact on the osseointegration of dental implants in clinic is not ascertained. A few of clinical trials have recently investigated the outcomes of photofunctionalized implants, especially focused on the evaluation of implant stability and MBL [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Shah et al showed that photofunctionalization significantly improved implant stability as compared with the control group [ 31 ].…”

Background: Several clinical trials have recently been conducted to elucidate the effectiveness of photofunctionalization. The aim of this review was to systematically analyze the clinical effects of photofunctionalization on implant stability and marginal bone loss (MBL). Methods: An electronic search in four databases and a manual search were conducted in September 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), clinical controlled trials (CCTs), and cohort and case-control studies evaluating the effects of photofunctionalization on implant stability or marginal bone loss (MBL) in humans were included. The methodological quality assessment using RoB 2.0 and the ROBINS-I tool was performed based on different study designs. Results: Seven studies were included for a qualitative analysis, and five of them were chosen for a meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that photofunctionalization significantly improved the stability of the implant 2 months after implantation (p = 0.04; MD = 3.48; 95% CI = −0.23 to 6.73) and increased the osseointegration speed index (OSI) (p = 0.007; MD = 2.13; 95% CI = 0.57 to 3.68). However, no significant improvements of implant stability were observed 2 weeks (p = 0.62), 4 weeks (p = 0.31), nor 4 months (p = 0.24) after implantation. The evaluation presented no significant reductions in MBL. Conclusions: Based on the positive effect of photofunctionalization on the rate of establishing implant stability, photofunctionalization may provide an effective and practical strategy to achieve faster osseointegration and reduce the overall healing time. Photofunctionalization appears to improve the implant stability. However, the clinical effect of photofunctionalization on MBL remains unclear due to the shortage of available studies.

Objective: This study examines the effect of ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation on the wettability and the potential bacterial surface contamination of expired dental implants. Materials and Methods:Twenty expired titanium implants in intact packaging were tested. The examined implants were exposed to UVC light of 254 nm wavelength and 8-watts power at two intervals for 15 minutes each. Bacterial culture was performed for all implants in three events; immediately after unpacking, after experimental contamination with freshly collected saliva, and after the first UVC exposure. As an indicator of surface wettability, Static-contact angle (S-CA) measurement was done for all implants three times; Pre-radiation and after the first and second UVC exposures.Results: All tested implants showed hydrophobic surface characters before exposure to UVC, and superhydrophilic surfaces were obtained following the second UVC exposure. All sealed expired implants didn't show any bacterial growth, and all saliva contaminated implants showed no bacterial growth after the first UVC exposure. There was no statistical correlation between implants' aging periods and the expired implant statistic contact angles. Conclusion:The used UVC source showed the ability to restore the expired implants to a superhydrophilic status and eliminate the bacterial contamination on the implant surfaces. Intact packaging protects outdated implants from bacterial contamination.
