Osteoimmunology-Driven Design of Dental Implant Materials: From Immune Response to Osseointegration.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The success of dental implantation depends on both mechanical stability and the host's immune response to the implanted biomaterials. Osteoimmunology emphasizes that early immune responses at the implant-tissue interface are critical for bone healing and long-term osseointegration. The immune response primarily consists of immune cells, particularly macrophages, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, which interact with osteogenic cells through cytokine networks and signalling pathways, such as RANK/RANKL/OPG. Additionally, it modulates both bone formation and resorption. This review focuses on summarizing the mechanisms that shape the immune response around implants by dental implant materials. It describes mechanisms related to bulk composition, surface topography, and mechanical properties, and highlights macrophage polarization and the transition from inflammation to regeneration. The review discusses current immunomodulatory strategies, including bioactive surfaces, ion doping, nanopatterning, drug-releasing surfaces, and responsive materials, as well as advances enabled by additive manufacturing. The review also discusses experimental models used to study osteoimmunological interactions and the clinical significance of immune dysregulation in peri-implant diseases. The design of biomaterials based on osteoimmunology represents a shift toward immune-compatible implants that aim to improve regenerative outcomes and long-term implant success.
