Bacteria changes in gum disease patients getting all dental implants
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how bacteria in your mouth change when all your teeth are removed and replaced with dental implants. If you have severe gum disease and need all your teeth extracted, joining this trial could help researchers understand your healing process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 or older.
- You must have severe gum disease (Stage III or IV periodontitis).
- You must be planning to have all your teeth removed and replaced with dental implants.
- You must not need bone grafting for the implant procedure.
- You must not take antibiotics or steroids regularly.

This study looks at markers of bone damage and stress in people with gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand how the body responds, which could help improve treatment.
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 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 trial compares two ways to treat gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis) and natural teeth (periodontitis), using either a non-surgical approach or a non-surgical approach plus an antibiotic gel. It aims to see which method works better to reduce inflammation and improve oral health.
This study looks at the bacteria living in deep gum pockets around implants or teeth during different types of gum surgery. It may help determine which surgical approach is best for your kind of gum infection.
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.
