Managing Dental Implant Infection: Surgery and Follow-up Care
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and in generally good health
- You have been diagnosed with peri-implantitis (infection around a dental implant) that needs surgical treatment
- Your implant has been in place for over 1 year and has lost significant bone around it
- You do not have autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, or chronic inflammatory conditions
- You are not currently taking steroids or immune-suppressing medications, and have no active infections
- You can attend follow-up visits for at least 3 months and undergo blood draws and tissue biopsies

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 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 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 study examines how immune cells behave around dental implants that are failing or healthy. Researchers will take small tissue samples during your implant surgery to better understand why some implants develop problems and how to prevent or treat them in the future.
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.
