Testing new implant surface for plaque buildup
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study evaluates a new, specially textured metal surface for dental implants to see if it reduces plaque (bacteria) buildup. If you are in good gum health, this research could help improve future implants that are easier to keep clean.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have healthy gums without signs of gum disease
- You are not currently diagnosed with periodontitis (serious gum infection)
- You are willing to have a temporary implant placed for evaluation
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a compound in gum to see how well it prevents plaque buildup over 4 days. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult with at least 20 natural teeth and some existing plaque.
This study looks at how plaque-biofilm (a thin layer of germs that can stick to surfaces) forms on temporary parts of dental implant crowns. If you have dental implants and are healthy and stable with gum health, your care team may use specific temporary rings to study biofilm buildup.
This study looks at how a special surface on dental implants affects the way gums heal around them. It may help improve the long-term health of the tissue around your implants.
This study tests a special surface treatment on the part of the implant that connects to the crown. It looks at how well gum and bone cells attach to this surface, aiming to improve healing and long-term success.
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 trial compares how different surface treatments on dental implants affect their stability. It is for people who need implants in both upper premolar/molar areas and have healed enough bone without grafts.
