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.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your dental implant has been fully healed and fitted with a permanent crown or bridge for at least one month.
- Your dentist needs to remove the crown or bridge on your implant for some reason.
- You do not have serious health problems or a severe mouth infection, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- The crown on your implant has not been removed or replaced in the past month.
- You are willing to take part in the study.

This study looks at how dental implants (artificial tooth roots) are doing, especially around the gum and bone, to help keep them healthy. If you have implants that have been in place for at least 3 years, you may be able to join and get a thorough check-up.
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 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 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.
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 examines how immune cells behave around dental implants that are failing or healthy. Researchers will take small tissue samples during your implant surgery to better understand why some implants develop problems and how to prevent or treat them in the future.
