Testing azithromycin for gum disease around dental implants
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a common antibiotic (azithromycin) can help treat infection and bone loss around dental implants without surgery. If you have an implant with deep pockets and bone loss, this study might offer a non-surgical treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to have at least one dental implant with active infection, including bleeding when probed, a pocket depth of 6 mm or more, and significant bone loss around it.
- The implant must not be loose.
- You can have no current gum disease (periodontitis) or have had it treated already.
- You must be generally healthy enough to undergo treatment and willing to follow the study rules.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgical treatment for peri-implantitis, which is a gum infection around a dental implant that causes bone loss. It aims to help people who need this procedure and can commit to follow-up visits.
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 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 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 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 study looks at how gums react to plaque buildup around dental implants that were previously treated for infection. It may help understand if one treatment method leads to healthier gums.
