Tracking gum healing after surgery for severe implant infection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least one dental implant with severe infection, including deep gum pockets (6 mm or more), bleeding or pus when probed, and bone loss shown on X-rays.
- The implant must have been in place for at least 12 months.
- You have not had treatment for peri-implantitis on that implant in the last 6 months.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, do not take steroids or bisphosphonates, smoke 10 or fewer cigarettes a day, and are not pregnant or nursing.
- You can attend follow-up visits over a long period.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at how patients feel during and after surgery for a gum infection around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand pain and quality of life to improve care.
This trial studies people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or gum inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis), and compares them with people who have healthy gums. The goal is to understand inflammation and how it relates to these dental conditions.
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.
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.
