Comparing two gels for treating implant infection
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for an infection around dental implants called peri-implantitis. One treatment uses a gel made from enamel proteins, the other uses a gel made from hyaluronic acid (a natural substance in the body). The goal is to see which gel works better to reduce inflammation and help the gums heal, without needing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and in good general health (no major medical conditions that could affect healing).
- Your implant is a Straumann brand with an SLA or SLActive surface and has been in place for more than a year.
- Your implant is not loose – it feels stable.
- You do not have active gum disease (periodontitis) or other infections in your mouth.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months.
- You do not smoke heavily (more than 10 cigarettes per day) or take medicines that weaken the immune system.

This study tests whether a gel made of polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid can help heal bone defects around dental implants when used along with non-surgical cleaning. It may offer a better way to treat peri-implantitis without surgery.
This study compares two different surgical approaches to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. You may be enrolled because you have a qualifying implant and meet health and medication requirements.
This trial tests a natural gel to treat gum disease around dental implants. It may help reduce bleeding and bone loss around implants.
This study compares two non-surgical procedures to treat gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It may be an option if you have an implant with deep pockets and your gums are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests whether adding a soft-tissue gum graft procedure can improve healing and reduce inflammation in moderate to severe peri-implantitis (inflammation and tissue damage around a dental implant). It may help patients by targeting both the gum tissue and the area around the implant that is bleeding or has deep pockets.
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.
