20-25 Year Follow-Up on Bone Grafts for Gum Disease Around Implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study follows up on patients who had a bone graft procedure to treat gum disease around dental implants 20 to 25 years ago. It aims to see how well the treatment worked over the long term.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a dental implant that lost at least 3 threads (about 1.8 mm) of bone after the first year.
- The bone loss was vertical, requiring a bone graft procedure.
- You had bleeding or pus around the implant at the time of the surgery.
- The bone graft surgery was performed 20 to 25 years ago.

This study tests a new regenerative treatment for gum infections around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It may help people whose implants are otherwise healthy and positioned correctly, and who have good overall health.
This trial follows people who had surgery for gum inflammation around a dental implant and checks their results over the long term. It may help by improving how clinicians monitor healing and prevent implant problems after surgery.
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 a surgical technique to repair bone damage around dental implants caused by severe gum disease (peri-implantitis). It is designed for people with specific types of bone defects and healthy gums elsewhere in the mouth.
This study tests three different ways to rebuild gum and bone around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It may help if you need a front tooth, canine, or premolar removed and have enough bone for the implant.
This trial tests whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
