Meta-Analytical Insights into Bone Growth Stimulants for Dental Implant Success

Central Asian University continues to strengthen its research excellence in the field of modern dentistry.

Professor Niladri Maiti, together with Riddhi Chawla from the School of Dentistry, Central Asian University, has co-authored and published a scientific research article titled “Impact of Bone Growth Stimulants on Bone Regeneration in Dental Implantology: A Meta-Analysis.”

The study presents a comprehensive meta-analysis of 25 peer-reviewed publications published between 2000 and 2024, conducted in strict accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The research evaluates the clinical effectiveness of various bone growth stimulants used in dental implantology, focusing on their role in enhancing osseointegration, bone regeneration, and long-term implant stability.

The findings demonstrate that bone growth stimulants — particularly bio-enhanced materials and combination grafts — significantly improve bone regeneration outcomes and contribute to higher implant success rates. At the same time, the study identifies important variations in effectiveness depending on graft types, implant surface coatings, and patient-specific factors. The authors also highlight potential limitations, including heterogeneity of clinical protocols and publication bias, offering a balanced and evidence-based perspective for clinical application.

By consolidating two decades of global research data, the article provides valuable insights that can support more informed clinical decision-making and the continued advancement of evidence-based dental practice.

This publication further reinforces Central Asian University’s commitment to research-driven education and innovation in dentistry, contributing to the development of advanced, patient-centered treatment approaches.
