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 two ways of managing an infection around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) that is severe enough to need surgery. It compares surgery alone to surgery plus a special maintenance cleaning to see which gives better long-term results. If you are eligible, you would receive treatment for the infection and be followed for 3 months.
This study tests a surgical procedure to treat infected dental implants. It aims to clean the area around the implant to stop bone loss and save the implant.
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 study tests how soon doctors can tell if non-surgical (flapless) treatment for an infected dental implant works, and whether that timing affects healing. It might help you find a simpler way to treat implant infections without cutting the gums.
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 trial studies whether placing a dental implant right away or after a delay leads to better appearance and healing. It looks at cosmetic results and X-ray findings, and is for people missing one front upper tooth.
