Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is very well known for its positive effects in early bone healing and more importantly on its promotion of new bone growth. Now it is being more commonly used alongside dental procedures, including implants. For an implant to be successful, it ideally needs to have bone grow around it on all sides. This study was able to demonstrate that the addition of hyperbaric therapy improved bone growth following implantation. One of the key clinical benefits that was observed was that the healing time around the implants was significantly reduced. Overall, it may be a very good idea to utilize the regenerative benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for patients undergoing dental surgery, particularly for those who are at greater risk for complications or failures <view study> Read Less

Poor Bone healing is one of the many associated health concerns for diabetics, who are known to have a reduced ability to form bone and have poor bone quality, thus influencing bone healing. Since hyperbaric oxygen has been used for a variety of diabetic-related conditions including poor wound healing, researchers in this study decided to observe the bone healing effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy over a short 7 day duration. The results showed favorable improvements in bone regeneration and these findings were subsequently published in this journal <view study> Read Less

This study clearly demonstrated that it only took 5 days to significantly enhance bone growth, reduce inflammation, and accelerate bone healing, with positive results in bone new bone formation <view study> Read Less

This study demonstrates the advantages of utilizing hyperbaric oxygen therapy following fracture injuries. The authors used a 6 week hyperbaric intensive protocol consisting of 30 sessions at 2.0 ATA. The outcome showed showed accelerated fracture healing with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In addition, there was a higher amount of type 1 collagen tissue, leading to stronger healing of the fracture <view study> Read Less
