How implant surface influences gum healing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special hydrophilic (water-friendly) coating on the dental abutment improves gum tissue healing around dental implants. It may help people who need implants and have healthy gums.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least 4 mm of thick, firm gum tissue around the implant area
- You are 18 years or older
- You are generally healthy or have a mild medical condition controlled by treatment
- You are missing some teeth but have healthy gums
- You do not have severe gum disease or other serious oral infections

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a special treatment for the part of a dental implant that sticks through the gums (the abutment). The goal is to see if the treatment helps gum tissue and bone attach better around the implant.
This trial compares different shapes and heights of the abutment (the connector piece between the implant and crown) to see how they affect gum and bone healing. It is for people who need a single or few back teeth replaced with a dental implant.
This study looks at how well the gum tissue “takes” around dental implants when different implant materials are used. It may help improve outcomes for people who need replacement teeth.
This trial compares how different surface treatments on dental implants affect their stability. It is for people who need implants in both upper premolar/molar areas and have healed enough bone without grafts.
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 the gum tissue around dental implants heals over time. It will help doctors understand the healing process better by taking a small sample of gum tissue from people who already have several implants.
