Research Studies
We are a not-for-profit organization and all of our retained earnings go into a fund that supports studies that would never be funded otherwise to provide answers important to our profession and especially our patients.

Clinical Research Pathway
- Protocol Development and IRB approval
- Study initiation, coordination, monitoring, and closeout
- Biostatistical results analysis
- Comprehensive reporting for internal review and regulatory submission
- Manuscript submission for publication
- Delivery to podium and communication of findings

The Power of Experience
Every month, on average, the network clinicians will perform:
- implants in patients
- bone regeneration procedures
- soft tissue augmentation procedures
- peri-implant procedures
- periodontal surgeries, non-surgical treatments

Number and Types of Studies Conducted with iMc
- Treatment of gingival recession
- Extractions and ridge preservation
- Treatment of periodontitis and inflammation
- Long term evaluations of soft tissue grafts and implants
- Artificial Intelligence in periodontal therapy
- Treatment of periodontal defects
- Product Evaluations (impressions, restorations, inflammation)
- Implant Registry
- Implant Therapy
- Histologic Evaluations

The Advantages of Private Practice-Based Clinical Research
- Periodontics forged the way for evidenced-based delivery of care in dentistry
- Supporting evidence is the language of periodontics and dental implantology
- Ultimately, we seek techniques and products that make the delivery of care more predictable/successful for our patients
- iMc is tailor-made to evaluate these questions with a high degreee of proficiency
- It mostly closely reflects the conditions/populations in which a product will be widely employed throughout the dental community
-
Facilitates dissemination of information and techniques by bridging and shortening the translational gap:
- Due to applicable nature of the study to private practice
- Conclusions are readily adopted into the everyday delivery of care and mainstreams methods as the standard of care
