Saliva test for implant infection detection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study uses a special light-based test on fluid around dental implants to find signs of infection called peri-implantitis. It may help detect problems early without invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have dental implants that have been in place for at least 1 year.
- You have at least one healthy implant and one implant with peri-implantitis.
- You can give written consent to participate.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months.
- You have not had gum or implant treatment in the last 6 months.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how dental implants (artificial tooth roots) are doing, especially around the gum and bone, to help keep them healthy. If you have implants that have been in place for at least 3 years, you may be able to join and get a thorough check-up.
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 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 studies severe inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand the immune and tissue changes causing this condition, which may lead to new treatment approaches.
This study tests how soon doctors can tell if non-surgical (flapless) treatment for an infected dental implant works, and whether that timing affects healing. It might help you find a simpler way to treat implant infections without cutting the gums.
This study looks at how plaque-biofilm (a thin layer of germs that can stick to surfaces) forms on temporary parts of dental implant crowns. If you have dental implants and are healthy and stable with gum health, your care team may use specific temporary rings to study biofilm buildup.
