Non-surgical treatment for implant infection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a less invasive way to treat peri-implantitis (infection around a dental implant) without removing the implant crown or using antibiotics. It may help people with infected implants who have not smoked or used antibiotics recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two non-surgical procedures to treat gum disease around dental implants. It aims to find which method works better to reduce infection and improve gum health, without needing surgery.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for deep gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. It aims to see how well the gums heal and how smoking might affect the healing process.
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 study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) in young adults. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health without surgery.
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.
