Nonsurgical treatment for implant infection with ultrasonic carbon tip
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 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 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 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.
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 trial tests if a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) can help treat infection and inflammation around dental implants without surgery. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate peri-implantitis who don't smoke and have healthy gums otherwise.
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.
