PERI-IMPLANT MUCOSITIS

This study tests different oral hygiene devices (like special brushes or floss) to see which removes the most plaque around single dental implants in people with early gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis). About 75 adults with one implant will use a specific device for 6 mon…

This study looks at whether taking a small piece of gum tissue from different spots on the roof of the mouth affects healing around dental implants. Thirty adults with missing lower back teeth will receive a graft during implant surgery. Researchers will measure gum thickness, he…

This study looks at whether using a water flosser can reverse early gum disease (mucositis) around a single dental implant. Twenty adults with at least one implant will use a water flosser, and researchers will check for bleeding and plaque at 2 and 4 weeks. The goal is to see if…

This study looks at whether vitamin D and a natural germ-fighting protein (LL-37) in the fluid around dental implants can help spot early signs of gum disease. Researchers will compare these levels in 72 adults with healthy implants, mild gum inflammation, or more serious infecti…

This study will test whether plastic or metal probes give more accurate gum depth measurements around single-tooth dental implants. Sixty-four adults with healthy or mildly inflamed gums will have their implant pockets measured with both probe types. The goal is to see which mate…
