    Dr. Yu-Ting Yeh is a board-certified periodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology (ABP), with extensive experience in both clinical practice and academia. Dr. Yeh joined the UCSF Dental Center in 2022 and serves as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Orofacial Sciences. He provides patient care services, including periodontics (gum disease) treatment, dental implants, bone grafting, sinus grafting, and root coverage procedures.

    Dr. Yeh has contributed to numerous research articles published in peer-reviewed journals, focusing on digital dentistry, periodontal disease treatments, the relationship between dental implants and surrounding bone and adjacent teeth, and the interplay between medical conditions and peri-implant disease.

    The relationship between patient medical conditions and peri-implant diseases

    Description: Explore the role of type II diabetes in the development of peri-implant diseases, with a focus on macrophage polarization. Analyze the risk of dental implant failure in patients with a history of antidepressant use and identify that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may increase failure risk at both the patient and implant levels. Given this elevated risk, warrant greater attention in patient selection when planning dental implant therapy.
    The relationship between dental implants and the surrounding bone and adjacent teeth

    Role: Principal Investigator
    Description: The goal of the project is to understand the immediate effect of implant osteotomy preparation by osseodensification on the biomechanical properties of bone around dental implants. Regarding the relationship between implants and adjacent teeth, my study demonstrated a higher risk of tooth loss for teeth adjacent to implants compared to those not adjacent, suggesting that implant placement might contribute as an iatrogenic cause for future tooth loss. Therefore, increased attention is warranted in patient selection for those requiring dental implants. Furthermore, the development of a more effective dental maintenance-hygiene program and an emphasis on appropriate homecare are crucial in light of these findings.
