Home light treatment for gum inflammation around dental implants
This study tests a home-use light therapy device that uses two types of light to reduce gum inflammation around dental implants. It may help people with peri-implant mucositis, a common condition where the gums around implants become swollen and bleed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a full arch of teeth supported by dental implants (like All-on-4 or All-on-6) that was placed at least 3 months ago.
- You have been diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis (gum inflammation around implants).
- Your blood sugar control is stable, with an HbA1c level below 7.0%.
- You have not smoked for at least the past 6 months.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits at 2 and 4 weeks and use the home treatment as instructed.

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 tests different tools for cleaning between the teeth around dental implants that show early signs of gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis). It may help find the best way to care for your implant and keep your gums healthy.
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.
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.
