Immediate vs. delayed surgery for infected dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares getting surgery right away versus waiting for infected dental implants. If you have a failing implant with bone loss around it, this trial may help decide the best time to fix it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a generally healthy adult age 18 or older
- You can keep good oral hygiene
- You have at least one dental implant that has been in place for more than a year and shows signs of infection (bleeding, deeper pockets, bone loss)
- The implant has a specific type of bone defect (at least 3 mm deep, no more than 4 mm wide) that can be fixed with surgery
- You do not smoke, vape, or chew tobacco, and have no untreated gum disease or other serious health issues that could affect surgery

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 patients feel during and after surgery for a dental implant infection (peri-implantitis). It aims to improve care by understanding your experience with pain and quality of life after treatment.
This study compares two different surgical approaches to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. You may be enrolled because you have a qualifying implant and meet health and medication requirements.
This trial tests a surgical treatment for peri-implantitis, which is a gum infection around a dental implant that causes bone loss. It aims to help people who need this procedure and can commit to follow-up visits.
This study tests how often a type of infection (called suppuration) occurs after surgery for severe gum disease around dental implants. It may help doctors understand the best way to treat this condition.
This trial compares immediate dental implants (placed right after a tooth is pulled) vs delayed implants (placed later), with or without a special bone-preserving technique. It is designed for people who need to have a single upper tooth removed and want to know which approach gives the best result.
