How smoking affects healing around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how smoking affects the body's immune response around dental implants that are healthy or have mild gum disease. It may help us understand why some implants develop problems and could lead to better care for smokers with implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be willing to take part in the study.
- You need at least one dental implant that has been in place for at least one year.
- Your implant must be diagnosed as healthy, have mild gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis), or have early bone loss around it (initial peri-implantitis).
- If you have early peri-implantitis, your implant must have a pocket depth of 6-7 mm.
- You must not have had gum treatment, mouth cleaning procedures, antibiotics, or steroids in the last six months.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must not have certain conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgical treatment for dental implant infections (peri-implantitis) in patients who smoke. It aims to see how well the implant survives after surgery to fix the infected area.
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 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 study looks at how often gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) happens around dental implants in people who previously had gum disease and are now in maintenance care. The results may help clinicians spot risk earlier and improve oral care around implants.
This study looks at whether non-surgical gum treatment around dental implants can improve early problems in blood vessel function. It includes people with implant gum disease, and also compares them with healthy people who do not have gum disease.
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.
