Surgical treatment for infected dental implants in smokers
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical treatment for dental implant infections (peri-implantitis) in patients who smoke. It aims to see how well the implant survives after surgery to fix the infected area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a dental implant that is currently infected.
- The infection must be in a single area with a deep pocket (at least 6 mm).
- The implant must not be loose or moveable.
- You must be a smoker.
- You must not have a defect with bone loss going sideways (known as a Class II defect).

This study looks at how smoking affects the body's immune response around dental implants that are healthy or have mild gum disease. It may help us understand why some implants develop problems and could lead to better care for smokers with implants.
This study tests a surgical procedure to treat infected dental implants. It aims to clean the area around the implant to stop bone loss and save the implant.
This study compares two different surgical approaches to treat peri-implantitis, an infection/inflammation around dental implants. You may be enrolled because you have a qualifying implant and meet health and medication requirements.
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.
This study tests two ways of managing an infection around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) that is severe enough to need surgery. It compares surgery alone to surgery plus a special maintenance cleaning to see which gives better long-term results. If you are eligible, you would receive treatment for the infection and be followed for 3 months.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) can help treat infection and inflammation around dental implants without surgery. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate peri-implantitis who don't smoke and have healthy gums otherwise.
