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 study looks at how gums react to plaque buildup around dental implants that were previously treated for infection. It may help understand if one treatment method leads to healthier gums.
This study looks at how bacteria in your mouth change when all your teeth are removed and replaced with dental implants. If you have severe gum disease and need all your teeth extracted, joining this trial could help researchers understand your healing process.
This trial studies whether a specific dental implant treatment approach works well for adults with type 2 diabetes who are missing at least one tooth. It also looks at outcomes over a long follow-up to help decide the safest, most effective plan for patients like you.
This study tests two special gels (metformin and zoledronate) applied under the gum after a deep-cleaning procedure, to see which works better for reducing deep gum pockets and regenerating bone, in people with controlled type 2 diabetes and gum disease.
This study tests if different antibiotics affect how well dental implants heal in the jaw. Participants need one or more implants in the back of the upper or lower jaw.
