Gum graft treatment to improve inflammation around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (over 18 or over 21 depending on study site).
- You have peri-implantitis around at least one dental implant that has been in use for at least 1 year.
- On exam, you have signs like bleeding and/or pus with gentle probing, deep pockets (at least 6 mm), and bone loss of at least 3 mm.
- Your mouth gum inflammation is controlled for the study (full-mouth bleeding score under 25%) and your plaque is low (full-mouth plaque score under 25%).
- You must be able and willing to follow all study visits and procedures, and sign informed consent.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not smoke more than 15 cigarettes per day.

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 study tests a gum surgery approach to treat peri-implantitis (infection/inflammation around a dental implant). It compares using a bone substitute alone versus adding a dissolvable collagen membrane to see which helps the implant area heal better.
This trial tests whether adding gum tissue around a dental implant helps treat an infection around the implant. It may be a good fit if you have a dental implant with inflammation and very little attached gum.
This trial studies people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or gum inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis), and compares them with people who have healthy gums. The goal is to understand inflammation and how it relates to these dental conditions.
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 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.
