Study of plaque biofilm on temporary implant crown rings
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how plaque-biofilm (a thin layer of germs that can stick to surfaces) forms on temporary parts of dental implant crowns. If you have dental implants and are healthy and stable with gum health, your care team may use specific temporary rings to study biofilm buildup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at the inside surface of full-arch dental bridges that are screwed into implants. It aims to understand how this surface affects the health of the surrounding gums and bone.
This study looks at how well the gum around a dental implant heals after surgery for a serious infection called peri-implantitis. It may help find better ways to treat this condition and prevent it from coming back.
This trial studies severe inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand the immune and tissue changes causing this condition, which may lead to new treatment approaches.
This study looks at the genetic and bacterial profiles in gum disease and implant infections. It might help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
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.
