Accuracy of gum probing around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how accurately dentists can measure the gum pocket depth around dental implants, and what factors might affect that measurement. It may help improve care for people with implants who need their crown removed for a check or repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study examines gum and bone health around dental implants that have been in place for at least 3 years. Researchers want to understand how to detect and prevent problems around implants, which could help improve long-term implant success.
This study compares how different dental crown materials affect your gums around dental implants. It may help you if you have several missing teeth and already have healed implants in good bone.
This trial studies signs of inflammation and tissue change around dental implants (especially in people with peri-implantitis) compared with people getting implants in healthier gum/bone areas. It may help doctors understand what markers to look for to better monitor or treat implant problems.
This study looks at whether the way a dental implant is restored (the “prosthetic emergence profile,” or how it comes up through the gum) affects how often gum and tissue problems happen around implants. It may help clinicians choose restoration styles that lower the risk of peri-implant diseases.
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.
This trial tests whether removing the crown from a dental implant before cleaning helps treat infection and inflammation around the implant. It may help patients with a condition called peri-implantitis, which is like gum disease but around an implant.
