Surgery for advanced gum disease around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a surgical technique to repair bone damage around dental implants caused by severe gum disease (peri-implantitis). It is designed for people with specific types of bone defects and healthy gums elsewhere in the mouth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have deep pockets (6 mm or more) around a dental implant with bleeding or pus, and at least 3 mm of bone loss seen on x-ray.
- The bone defect around the implant must be a certain shape (combined vertical and horizontal loss) with at least a 3 mm deep bony gap.
- You have at least 2 mm of firm, attached gum tissue on the cheek side of the implant.
- Your implant is placed correctly within the jawbone, not tilted or positioned too far forward or backward.
- The implant's crown or bridge allows you to clean around it well and lets the dentist measure gum pocket depth.

This study tests a gum surgery approach to treat peri-implantitis (infection/inflammation around a dental implant). It compares using a bone substitute alone versus adding a dissolvable collagen membrane to see which helps the implant area heal better.
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 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 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 study compares two materials used to help bone grow back around a dental implant that has bone loss due to infection. The goal is to see which material works better for preserving the implant.
This trial tests whether a special collagen material placed around a new dental implant can help prevent bone loss in the upper front gum area. It is for people needing a single implant in a specific tooth zone and may help keep the bone strong for a better cosmetic result.
