Crown removal for treating gum disease around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether removing the crown from a dental implant before cleaning helps treat infection and inflammation around the implant. It may help patients with a condition called peri-implantitis, which is like gum disease but around an implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one dental implant with diagnosed peri-implantitis (infection/inflammation around the implant)
- The crown (artificial tooth) on that implant can be removed
- You have not had non-surgical treatment for the implant infection in the last 6 months
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months
- You are not a smoker who smokes more than 10 cigarettes per day
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study compares two non-surgical procedures to treat gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It may be an option if you have an implant with deep pockets and your gums are otherwise healthy.
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 trial looks at a non-surgical dental treatment approach for people who have peri-implantitis, an inflammation around a dental implant. It may help improve the health of the gum and supporting tissue around the implant without surgery.
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 new regenerative treatment for gum infections around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It may help people whose implants are otherwise healthy and positioned correctly, and who have good overall health.
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.
