Yue Yuan, Zishuo Hou, Miaomiao Chen, Jingwei Yu, Minghao Zhou, Jiaxin Kang, et al.

The weaker soft tissue integration around implants compared to natural teeth poses a substantial challenge to the long-term success of implants. To enhance soft tissue integration, we develop an on-demand and long-lasting H2-releasing implant to achieve precise sequential regulation of the soft tissue integration through immunomodulation and pro-remodeling coupling. In the inflammatory phase, the
