Understanding Immune Cells Around Dental Implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a dental implant (tooth replacement) in bone that needs exposure surgery
- You have or may have peri-implantitis (infection and bone loss around an implant)
- You have not had previous surgery for peri-implantitis problems
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have autoimmune disease, genetic disorders, or poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure
- You have not had cancer treatment, oral cancer, or used certain medications recently (anti-inflammatory drugs within 2 weeks; antibiotics within 3 months)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This trial studies signs of inflammation and tissue change around dental implants (especially in people with peri-implantitis) compared with people getting implants in healthier gum/bone areas. It may help doctors understand what markers to look for to better monitor or treat implant problems.
This trial looks at specific proteins found in the gum tissue around dental implants. The goal is to understand how these proteins may be linked to inflammation in people with peri-implantitis, a condition that affects the gums and bone around implants.
This trial studies severe inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand the immune and tissue changes causing this condition, which may lead to new treatment approaches.
This study examines gum and bone health around dental implants that have been in place for at least 3 years. Researchers want to understand how to detect and prevent problems around implants, which could help improve long-term implant success.
