Antibiotic treatment for infected dental implants
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic called azithromycin helps treat dental implant infections (peri-implantitis) when added to standard cleaning. It aims to find a less invasive treatment option for people with implant infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You need at least one dental implant with active infection (bleeding, deep pocket of 6mm or more, and bone loss on x-ray)
- The implant must not be loose (mobile)
- You must not have uncontrolled diabetes or smoke heavily (10 or more cigarettes a day)
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have taken certain antibiotics or immune-suppressing drugs in the last 3 months

This study tests a surgical procedure to treat infected dental implants. It aims to clean the area around the implant to stop bone loss and save the implant.
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 study tests a new treatment for infected dental implants using a small brush made of chitosan (a natural material from shellfish). It aims to clean the implant surface and help the infection heal.
This study looks at how well the gum around a dental implant heals after surgery for a serious infection called peri-implantitis. It may help find better ways to treat this condition and prevent it from coming back.
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 compares two ways of cleaning the implant surface during surgery for peri-implantitis, to see which approach better resolves the infection and helps the implant heal. If you need surgery for peri-implantitis, this study may help you get effective treatment while contributing to better dental care.
