Checking the health of dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how dental implants (artificial tooth roots) are doing, especially around the gum and bone, to help keep them healthy. If you have implants that have been in place for at least 3 years, you may be able to join and get a thorough check-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have dental implants (artificial teeth roots) that have been in place and in use for at least 3 years.
- Your implants support a single crown, a bridge, or a full arch of teeth.
- This is your first visit to the study clinic, whether for a check-up, a follow-up, or to address a dental problem.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and allow the clinic to use your dental records and x-rays.
- Your implant must not have a broken or ill-fitting crown, and the bone-anchored part of the implant must not be exposed.

This study looks at how accurately dentists can measure the gum pocket depth around dental implants, and what factors might affect that measurement. It may help improve care for people with implants who need their crown removed for a check or repair.
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 follows people who had surgery for gum inflammation around a dental implant and checks their results over the long term. It may help by improving how clinicians monitor healing and prevent implant problems after surgery.
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 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.
This study tests two types of dental implant surfaces to see which works better. It may be a good fit if you need one or more missing teeth replaced and are generally healthy.
