Cleaning tools for inflamed gums around back dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares different tools for cleaning between the teeth around a single back dental implant. The goal is to see which device best reduces gum inflammation (mucositis) around the implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a single back dental implant that has been in place for at least a year.
- You have been diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis, meaning the gum around the implant bleeds when probed, with no major bone loss.
- You are in good general health (no serious uncontrolled conditions).
- You have not had periodontal or implant maintenance treatment in the past 3 months.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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 often gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) happens around dental implants in people who previously had gum disease and are now in maintenance care. The results may help clinicians spot risk earlier and improve oral care around implants.
This study tests a procedure (implantoplasty) to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. It may help improve the health of implants when there is exposed, changed implant surface.
This study tests a home-use light therapy that kills bacteria to treat inflammation around dental implants. If you have implant-related gum disease, this could help reduce bleeding and swelling without needing extra clinic visits.
This study tests whether adding extra gum tissue (keratinized mucosa) around a dental implant can improve treatment results for inflamed gum tissue around the implant (peri-implant mucositis). It is for people with a single, healthy implant that has been in place for at least one year and who have not had recent periodontal treatment.
This trial tests whether cleaning around a single dental implant with a water flosser reduces gum inflammation better than regular cleaning. If you have one implant and healthy gums, this could help you keep your implant healthy.
