Cleaning infected dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to clean infected dental implants during surgery. The goal is to see which method better supports healing and preserves the implant, using a special electrolytic cleaning versus a titanium brush.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one dental implant with peri-implantitis (infection and bone loss around the implant).
- The bone loss around the implant is contained, meaning there is a pocket that can be filled with bone graft material.
- You either smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day or you do not smoke at all.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, are not taking chronic steroids, and do not have autoimmune diseases that affect healing.
- Your implant crown or bridge can be removed before surgery.

This study tests a new way to clean around dental implants to treat early gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis). If you have bleeding around an implant but no bone loss, you may be able to join.
This study tests a treatment for peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants that causes bone loss and bleeding. It aims to find a better way to manage the infection and preserve your implant and bone.
This study compares different cleaning methods for dental implants that have an infection around them (peri-implantitis). It aims to find the best way to clean the implant surface to help it heal and be preserved.
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 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.
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.
