Titanium brush for treating infected dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
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 that is infected or has bone loss around it (peri-implantitis).
- You have been treated for gum disease before.
- You have good oral hygiene habits (plaque buildup less than 25%).
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day.
- You do not have any uncontrolled health problems (like diabetes, cancer, or a weak immune system).

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 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 whether using a special ultrasonic carbon tip (a gentle cleaning tool) can treat infection around a dental implant without surgery. It is for people with a single problem implant who are otherwise healthy and have good oral hygiene.
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 tests a new electrical cleaning method to treat peri-implantitis—an infection around dental implants that requires surgery. The goal is to see if this technique helps implants heal better and last longer.
This study tests how to treat peri-implantitis—an infection around dental implants—using surgery, then tracks how well your implants heal and stay healthy over time. The research may help improve treatment for people with failing implants.
