Long-term study of gum infection treatments around implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had treatment for gum infection around dental implants (peri-implantitis) 5 to 23 years ago, to see how well different treatments worked over time. It may help understand which treatments are best for the long run.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old and generally healthy.
- You had treatment for gum infection around a dental implant in the past (either surgery or non-surgical cleaning).
- You may have taken antibiotics with your treatment, but that's okay.
- You have not had any other gum treatment in the last 6 months.
- You still have the implant that was treated and are willing to join the study.

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.
This trial studies people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or gum inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis), and compares them with people who have healthy gums. The goal is to understand inflammation and how it relates to these dental conditions.
This study looks at the genetic and bacterial profiles in gum disease and implant infections. It might help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
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 checks if previous treatments for peri-implantitis (infection around dental implants) stay effective after 3 years. It follows patients who already finished a prior clinical trial comparing surgical and non-surgical treatments.
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.
