Dental implant trial testing gum healing with different materials
This study looks at how well the gum tissue “takes” around dental implants when different implant materials are used. It may help improve outcomes for people who need replacement teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must sign an informed consent form before any study procedures.
- You are age 18 or older and need dental implant treatment to replace missing teeth.
- Your missing tooth was extracted or lost at least 12 weeks ago (for the implant site).
- You must have enough healthy gum tissue at the implant site (at least 3 mm thickness).
- You must be in generally good health and able to undergo mouth surgery (ASA I or II) with no major reasons surgery can’t be done.
- You should not smoke, be currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and should not have certain health conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disease needing treatment, or immune problems).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
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.
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 trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
This study tests a special treatment for the part of a dental implant that sticks through the gums (the abutment). The goal is to see if the treatment helps gum tissue and bone attach better around the implant.
This trial studies signs of inflammation and tissue change around dental implants (especially in people with peri-implantitis) compared with people getting implants in healthier gum/bone areas. It may help doctors understand what markers to look for to better monitor or treat implant problems.
