Gum tissue addition for implant gum inflammation treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding extra gum tissue (keratinized mucosa) around a dental implant can improve treatment results for inflamed gum tissue around the implant (peri-implant mucositis). It is for people with a single, healthy implant that has been in place for at least one year and who have not had recent periodontal treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single dental implant with a permanent crown or bridge that has been working for at least one year.
- You do not have any health condition (like diabetes or autoimmune diseases) that affects your gums or implant, and you are not taking medicine for such conditions.
- You have not had any gum or implant treatment in the last 6 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes a day or do not smoke at all.
- Your implant is positioned correctly and the crown/bridge does not block measurements around the implant.

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 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 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 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.
This study tests a procedure (implantoplasty) to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. It may help improve the health of implants when there is exposed, changed implant surface.
This study looks at how gum grafts change shape around dental implants. If you have a dental implant with thin gum tissue on the cheek side, this could help understand how to improve it.
