Distance Between Implants and Gum Disease Risk
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the spacing between dental implants can affect the risk of disease around them. If you have two or more implants next to each other that have been working for at least 3 years, this trial may help understand how to keep your implants healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and in good general health.
- You have two or more dental implants placed next to each other that have been in use for at least 3 years.
- Your implant-supported teeth must be fixed (either a single crown or a bridge), not removable.
- None of your implants are loose.
- You have not taken oral antibiotics or had a deep dental cleaning in the last 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether the way a dental implant is restored (the “prosthetic emergence profile,” or how it comes up through the gum) affects how often gum and tissue problems happen around implants. It may help clinicians choose restoration styles that lower the risk of peri-implant diseases.
This study examines gum and bone health around dental implants that have been in place for at least 3 years. Researchers want to understand how to detect and prevent problems around implants, which could help improve long-term implant success.
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 tests different tools for cleaning between the teeth around dental implants that show early signs of gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis). It may help find the best way to care for your implant and keep your gums healthy.
This study tests how often a type of infection (called suppuration) occurs after surgery for severe gum disease around dental implants. It may help doctors understand the best way to treat this condition.
This study examines how immune cells behave around dental implants that are failing or healthy. Researchers will take small tissue samples during your implant surgery to better understand why some implants develop problems and how to prevent or treat them in the future.
