Treatment for gum inflammation around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure (implantoplasty) to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. It may help improve the health of implants when there is exposed, changed implant surface.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have peri-implantitis affecting at least 2 dental implants with similar surface and the same type of defect.
- Your implant surfaces have an exposed, modified area with more than 2 mm of loss.
- You are able to understand the study and give consent, and can complete quality-of-life questionnaires.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had jaw radiotherapy, and you are not using chemotherapy or long-term steroid medicines.

This study looks at how gums react to plaque buildup around dental implants that were previously treated for infection. It may help understand if one treatment method leads to healthier gums.
This study tests how to treat peri-implantitis—an infection around dental implants—using surgery, then tracks how well your implants heal and stay healthy over time. The research may help improve treatment for people with failing implants.
This study tests a new regenerative treatment for gum infections around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It may help people whose implants are otherwise healthy and positioned correctly, and who have good overall health.
This study compares two different surgical approaches to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. You may be enrolled because you have a qualifying implant and meet health and medication requirements.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) can help treat infection and inflammation around dental implants without surgery. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate peri-implantitis who don't smoke and have healthy gums otherwise.
This trial tests whether adding a soft-tissue gum graft procedure can improve healing and reduce inflammation in moderate to severe peri-implantitis (inflammation and tissue damage around a dental implant). It may help patients by targeting both the gum tissue and the area around the implant that is bleeding or has deep pockets.
