Research

Improving patient experience and outcomes is at the heart of our move into practice-based research. We aim to assess current practice in implant dentistry and other aspects of our service in order to study patient satisfaction and long-term outcomes. These findings will help us understand the level of care we provide, identify areas for improvement, and maintain a high standard of service for you. 

• Anterior implant aesthetic outcomes
• A maxillary sinus scoring system for CBCT scans
• Patient-reported outcomes in full arch implant treatment
• Short term recovery from implant surgery
• Sinus grafting surgery and residual bone height
• Tooth-related quality of life studies

We include a patient information sheet about our research in communications with you. This includes the option for you to consent for your (anonymised) data to be stored and used in future studies. Your clinician will discuss this form with you and answer any questions you may have before you decide whether or not to give us consent to use your data. This will not involve changes to your care or treatment but may ask for your views on treatment results.

We welcome input and feedback from our patients – if you would like to know more about our research just let our staff know next time you are in, or contact us on info@campbell-clinic.co.uk

In order to comply with General Data Protection Regulations, from May 2018 our Patient Information Sheet will be accompanied by a research transparency statement. Here is the full version of the Study Consent Documents including Patient Information Sheet, Research Consent Form and the research transparency statement.
