Metal particles and treatment of infected dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny metal particles from dental implants to see if they affect how a gum and bone infection around implants (peri-implantitis) gets worse. It may help improve how we treat patients with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are being seen at a specific dental program at the University of Barcelona for your implant or gum treatment.
- You either have peri-implantitis (infection around a dental implant) and are scheduled for treatment to collect tissue or biofilm samples, or you are planning to get a new dental implant with a guided surgery approach and can provide soft tissue samples.
- You are not a heavy smoker (fewer than 20 cigarettes per day), do not have certain uncontrolled health conditions, and have not used antibiotics in the last 6 months.
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and give written consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies signs of inflammation and tissue change around dental implants (especially in people with peri-implantitis) compared with people getting implants in healthier gum/bone areas. It may help doctors understand what markers to look for to better monitor or treat implant problems.
This trial looks at specific proteins found in the gum tissue around dental implants. The goal is to understand how these proteins may be linked to inflammation in people with peri-implantitis, a condition that affects the gums and bone around implants.
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 tests a surgical treatment for peri-implantitis, which is a gum infection around a dental implant that causes bone loss. It aims to help people who need this procedure and can commit to follow-up visits.
This study tests how to treat peri-implantitis—an infection around dental implants—using surgery, then tracks how well your implants heal and stay healthy over time. The research may help improve treatment for people with failing implants.
This study tests a new regenerative treatment for gum infections around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It may help people whose implants are otherwise healthy and positioned correctly, and who have good overall health.
