Metal particles and dental implant gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether tiny metal particles from dental implants are linked to the progression of peri-implantitis, an infection of the gum and bone around an implant. It may help researchers understand why some implant infections get worse and could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been treated at the University of Barcelona's oral surgery or periodontology master's program
- You must have either: (1) a diagnosis of peri-implantitis and need treatment that includes collecting tissue/biofilm samples, or (2) be a candidate for new implants placed using a computer-guided approach, with a tissue sample to be collected
- You agree to sign a written consent form and follow the study procedures
- You do not have uncontrolled gum disease, a weak immune system, a history of radiation/chemo, uncontrolled systemic disease, or take medications that affect bone healing
- You are not a heavy smoker (≥20 cigarettes/day), do not abuse alcohol or drugs, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and haven't had gum surgery or antibiotic use recently

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 patients feel during and after surgery for a gum infection around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand pain and quality of life to improve care.
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 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 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 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.
