Light therapy for implant gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special light-activated treatment (antibacterial photodynamic therapy) to fight infection around dental implants. It may be an option for people with moderate to severe implant-related gum disease who are not smokers and do not have diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one dental implant with deep gum pockets (6 mm or more) and bone loss around the implant.
- You are not a current smoker.
- You do not have diabetes that requires medication.
- You have not used certain antibiotics or mouthwashes in the last 4 weeks, and no implant or gum treatment in the last 3 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are willing to follow the study treatment and avoid other oral hygiene products for the study period.

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 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 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 a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) you can use at home can help reduce inflammation around dental implants (peri-implant mucositis). It's designed for people with early gum problems around implants, before they get worse.
This study tests a home-use light therapy that kills bacteria to treat inflammation around dental implants. If you have implant-related gum disease, this could help reduce bleeding and swelling without needing extra clinic visits.
This study tests a special light therapy (called antibacterial photodynamic therapy) used with a device called Lumoral to improve oral hygiene in older adults. It may help reduce bacteria and plaque in people who can brush their teeth and follow the study routine.
