Light therapy for gum inflammation around dental implants
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a home-use light therapy that kills bacteria to treat inflammation around dental implants. If you have implant-related gum disease, this could help reduce bleeding and swelling without needing extra clinic visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have a full arch of teeth on implants (like All-on-4 or All-on-6) placed at least 3 months ago.
- You must have been diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis, which is swelling and bleeding around the implant.
- Your diabetes (if you have it) should be well managed, with a recent HbA1c below 7.0%.
- You need to have been a non-smoker for at least the past 6 months.
- You must be willing to come back for check-ups at 2 and 4 weeks and follow the home-use treatment plan.

This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) you can use at home can help reduce inflammation around dental implants (peri-implant mucositis). It's designed for people with early gum problems around implants, before they get worse.
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 compares different tools for cleaning between the teeth around a single back dental implant. The goal is to see which device best reduces gum inflammation (mucositis) around the implant.
This study tests a procedure (implantoplasty) to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. It may help improve the health of implants when there is exposed, changed implant surface.
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 tests a device called AmbiJet to treat gum infections around dental implants. It may help people with early to moderate bone loss caused by implant-related gum disease.
