Treating gum inflammation around implants to improve blood vessel function
Part of Heart & circulation, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether non-surgical gum treatment around dental implants can improve early problems in blood vessel function. It includes people with implant gum disease, and also compares them with healthy people who do not have gum disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be in one of these groups: peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis, or healthy
- Your dental/implant diagnosis must match specific 2017 dental criteria your dentist records

- You should not have taken antibiotics, NSAIDs (like ibuprofen/naproxen), or immune-suppressing medicines in the last 6 months
- You must not be pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 often gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) happens around dental implants in people who previously had gum disease and are now in maintenance care. The results may help clinicians spot risk earlier and improve oral care around implants.
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 study compares two non-surgical procedures to treat gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It may be an option if you have an implant with deep pockets and your gums are otherwise healthy.
