Low-level laser for gum infection around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding low-level laser therapy (a light treatment) to standard cleaning helps heal gum infections around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It's for people with a specific implant infection who are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one dental implant with deep gum pockets (6 mm or more) and bone loss (3 mm or more) around it.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are willing to take part in the study and can follow oral hygiene instructions.
- You do not have serious health conditions like diabetes, cancer, HIV/AIDS, autoimmune disorders, or liver/kidney problems.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had gum treatment or taken antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last six months.

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 study tests a special light-activated treatment (antibacterial photodynamic therapy) to fight infection around dental implants. It may be an option for people with moderate to severe implant-related gum disease who are not smokers and do not have diabetes.
This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) you can use at home can help reduce inflammation around dental implants (peri-implant mucositis). It's designed for people with early gum problems around implants, before they get worse.
This study tests whether material from extracted teeth, combined with low-level laser treatment, can help bone heal better before dental implants are placed. The goal is to improve implant success and reduce bone loss after tooth removal.
This study tests a home-use light therapy device that uses two types of light to reduce gum inflammation around dental implants. It may help people with peri-implant mucositis, a common condition where the gums around implants become swollen and bleed.
This trial tests whether a special laser treatment can help your gums heal better after a tooth is removed and the socket is prepared for a future dental implant. If you're having a tooth pulled and bone preservation, this laser might speed up healing and reduce pain.
