Dental implant healing and TNF-alpha blockers
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how dental implants heal in people who take TNF-alpha inhibitors (medicines that lower inflammation) compared to those who don't. It aims to see if the drug affects healing after implant surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a dental implant to help restore your teeth.
- You either take a TNF-alpha inhibitor medication (a type of drug that reduces inflammation) regularly for at least 6 months, or you don't take it at all.
- You do not have serious gum disease or other major mouth problems like cysts or tumors.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes (A1c over 8.0) or a history of head/neck radiation.
- You have not used tobacco in the last year, and you are not pregnant (if applicable).

This study tests two types of dental implants (BIODENTOSS® and DWC®) to see how well they work and how safe they are in patients who need tooth replacement. If you have a missing tooth and want an implant, this study will track how your implant performs over time.
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.
This study looks at how well dental implant treatment works in people with cancer or osteoporosis who take antiresorptive medicines. It may help your team understand what to expect for healing and outcomes in your situation.
This study compares two types of dental implant surfaces to see which helps the implant bond better with the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a single front tooth or first premolar replaced.
This study looks at how well the gum tissue “takes” around dental implants when different implant materials are used. It may help improve outcomes for people who need replacement teeth.
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.
