This randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of UV photofunctionalization and hyaluronic acid on dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed during follow-up
The study compares conventional implants, UV-photofunctionalized implants, and UV-photofunctionalized implants with hyaluronic acid application in the posterior maxilla. Implant stability and peri-implant tissue changes will be evaluated clinically and radiographically during follow-up.

Hard Tissue (peri-implant bone)
Marginal bone loss will be assessed using CBCT measured in mm.
Time frame: - Immediately postoperative - 3 months after implant placement - 9 months after implant placement.
Implant Stability
Implant stability will be evaluated using Osstell device based on resonance frequency analysis (ISQ values).
Time frame: -immediately after implant placement -2 weeks postoperatively -4 weeks postoperatively - 3 months postoperatively - 9 months postoperatively
Soft Tissue
The peri-implant mucosa will be evaluated for signs of inflammation using the Modified Sulcus Bleeding Index (mSBI).
Time frame: -After 3 months postoperatively. -After 9 months postoperatively.
Peri-implant probing depth
Probing depth will be assessed using a calibrated periodontal probe and measured in mm.
Time frame: After 3 months postoperatively. -After 9 months postoperatively.
