Treating implant gum disease with nonsurgical cleaning
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares different cleaning methods for gum disease around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) to see if they affect titanium particles released. It may help find the best way to treat this condition without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and in good general health.
- You have at least one dental implant with signs of gum disease (deep pockets, bleeding, and bone loss).
- Your implant has been in place for at least one year.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the past 3 months.
- You have not had previous treatment for gum disease around that specific implant.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study is testing different ways to clean a dental implant that is failing due to severe infection (peri-implantitis). If you need to have an implant removed because of advanced bone loss, the researchers will compare cleaning methods during the removal procedure.
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.
This trial tests whether “air polishing” (a gentle cleaning method) can improve peri-implantitis, an infection and inflammation around dental implants. It may help by reducing deep gum pockets, bleeding, pus, and bone loss around the implant.
This trial compares two ways of cleaning the implant surface during surgery for peri-implantitis, to see which approach better resolves the infection and helps the implant heal. If you need surgery for peri-implantitis, this study may help you get effective treatment while contributing to better dental care.
This study compares two non-surgical procedures to treat gum disease around dental implants. It aims to find which method works better to reduce infection and improve gum health, without needing surgery.
This study tests whether using a special titanium brush during a deep cleaning helps treat infected dental implants (peri-implantitis) better than cleaning alone. It's for people who have had gum disease before and have at least one implant with ongoing infection and bone loss.
