Kaempferol Gel , Alkaline Phosphatase Activity , Bone Density Around Dental Implants

Peri-implant Bone Healing and Osseointegration

Kaempferol gel was tested as a local adjunct during implant placement in 30 patients. Compared to controls, the Kaempferol group showed significantly higher ALP activity at 2 and 4 weeks and greater bone density gain after 6 months (40.73% vs. 33.21%). These findings suggest Kaempferol enhances early bone remodeling, improves peri-implant bone quality, and may allow earlier implant loading.

This randomized controlled clinical trial investigated the effect of Kaempferol gel, a natural antioxidant and bone-healing compound, on dental implant healing in the maxillary posterior region. Thirty patients were divided into two groups: one received Kaempferol gel during implant placement, while the other did not. The study measured alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in peri-implant crevicular fluid at 1, 2, and 4 weeks, and bone density using CBCT at baseline and 6 months. Results showed that Kaempferol significantly boosted ALP activity at 2 and 4 weeks, suggesting faster bone remodeling. At 6 months, bone density improved in both groups, but the Kaempferol group showed a greater increase (40.73% vs. 33.21%). In conclusion, Kaempferol gel enhanced early bone healing and improved bone density around implants, indicating its potential as a cost-effective, biocompatible adjunct to accelerate osseointegration and possibly allow earlier implant loading, particularly in patients with poor bone quality.
