Science Friday: Dental Industry-Funded Dental Implant Research Not Biased

As reported by DrBicuspid.com, researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago reviewed 1,503 industry-funded dental implant research articles published in five journals between 2005 and 2009 to determine whether publication bias occurs in implant-related research over time.

According to the study outlined in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants, they found that industry-funded dental implant research is not biased in favor of positive clinical study outcomes.

The researchers recorded study outcome, extramural funding source, type of study, and geographic origin.
