Comparing surgery and aftercare for infected dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need to be generally healthy (with no major health problems).
- You must have a gum infection around a dental implant (peri-implantitis) that is severe enough to require corrective surgery.
- For the maintenance part of the study, the infection around the implant must be well controlled (pockets ≤ 5 mm, minimal bleeding).
- You cannot have conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or be taking strong immunosuppressant drugs.
- You cannot have poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c > 7.5%) or be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study is testing different ways to clean a dental implant that is failing due to severe infection (peri-implantitis). If you need to have an implant removed because of advanced bone loss, the researchers will compare cleaning methods during the removal procedure.
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 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 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 compares two ways of cleaning the implant surface during surgery for peri-implantitis, to see which approach better resolves the infection and helps the implant heal. If you need surgery for peri-implantitis, this study may help you get effective treatment while contributing to better dental care.
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.
