Inflammation around dental implants: infection or allergy?
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at why some dental implants get inflamed. It checks if the cause is a bacterial infection, an allergic reaction, or both. If you have a working dental implant that hasn't been treated for inflammation in the last three months, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have at least one dental implant that is fully functional (with a crown or other restoration on top).
- You have not had treatment for gum infection around your implant in the past three months.
- You do not have a weak immune system or a chronic condition like diabetes, heart, lung, or kidney disease.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not taking certain medications, such as strong bone drugs, steroids, or antibiotics in the last three months.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the head or neck or chemotherapy.

This study tests two types of dental implant surfaces to see which works better. It may be a good fit if you need one or more missing teeth replaced and are generally healthy.
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.
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 looks at specific proteins found in the gum tissue around dental implants. The goal is to understand how these proteins may be linked to inflammation in people with peri-implantitis, a condition that affects the gums and bone around implants.
This trial studies severe inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand the immune and tissue changes causing this condition, which may lead to new treatment approaches.
This trial studies signs of inflammation and tissue change around dental implants (especially in people with peri-implantitis) compared with people getting implants in healthier gum/bone areas. It may help doctors understand what markers to look for to better monitor or treat implant problems.
