Cleaning methods for infected dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study is testing different ways to clean a dental implant that is failing due to severe infection (peri-implantitis). If you need to have an implant removed because of advanced bone loss, the researchers will compare cleaning methods during the removal procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a dental implant (made of titanium or titanium alloy) that needs to be removed because of severe bone loss (more than 50%) and signs of infection.
- You have not had any treatment for the infection around your implant in the past 6 months.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
- You have not had radiation therapy to your head or neck, or chemotherapy in the last 3 years.
- You do not have any medical condition that requires antibiotics before dental visits, and you do not have an active infection elsewhere in your body.

This study tests how to treat peri-implantitis—an infection around dental implants—using surgery, then tracks how well your implants heal and stay healthy over time. The research may help improve treatment for people with failing implants.
This trial tests a new electrical cleaning method to treat peri-implantitis—an infection around dental implants that requires surgery. The goal is to see if this technique helps implants heal better and last longer.
This study tests whether using a special titanium brush during a deep cleaning helps treat infected dental implants (peri-implantitis) better than cleaning alone. It's for people who have had gum disease before and have at least one implant with ongoing infection and bone loss.
This study tests whether using a special ultrasonic carbon tip (a gentle cleaning tool) can treat infection around a dental implant without surgery. It is for people with a single problem implant who are otherwise healthy and have good oral hygiene.
This study tests a new treatment for infected dental implants using a small brush made of chitosan (a natural material from shellfish). It aims to clean the implant surface and help the infection heal.
This trial tests whether “air polishing” (a gentle cleaning method) can improve peri-implantitis, an infection and inflammation around dental implants. It may help by reducing deep gum pockets, bleeding, pus, and bone loss around the implant.
