Treating infected dental implants with a chitosan brush
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an implant that has been in place for more than 12 months and has developed an infection around it (peri-implantitis).
- You are between 18 and 64 years old.
- You have completed any needed treatment for gum disease (periodontitis) before joining the study.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 6 months, and you are not currently on or have not had radiation, chemotherapy, or long-term steroids.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have allergies to chitosan, stainless steel, adhesives, or polypropylene.

This study tests whether using a special titanium brush during a deep cleaning helps treat infected dental implants (peri-implantitis) better than cleaning alone. It's for people who have had gum disease before and have at least one implant with ongoing infection and bone loss.
This study is testing different ways to clean a dental implant that is failing due to severe infection (peri-implantitis). If you need to have an implant removed because of advanced bone loss, the researchers will compare cleaning methods during the removal procedure.
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 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.
This study compares different cleaning methods for gum disease around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) to see if they affect titanium particles released. It may help find the best way to treat this condition without surgery.
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.
