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 two ways of managing an infection around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) that is severe enough to need surgery. It compares surgery alone to surgery plus a special maintenance cleaning to see which gives better long-term results. If you are eligible, you would receive treatment for the infection and be followed for 3 months.
This study compares different cleaning methods for gum disease around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) to see if they affect titanium particles released. It may help find the best way to treat this condition without surgery.
This trial compares two ways of cleaning the implant surface during surgery for peri-implantitis, to see which approach better resolves the infection and helps the implant heal. If you need surgery for peri-implantitis, this study may help you get effective treatment while contributing to better dental care.
This study tests a surgical procedure to treat infected dental implants. It aims to clean the area around the implant to stop bone loss and save the implant.
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.
