PERI IMPLANT MUCOSITIS

This study compares different oral hygiene devices (like special brushes or floss) to see which removes the most plaque from around single dental implants in the back of the mouth. About 75 adults with mild gum inflammation around their implant will use one of the devices daily f…

This study tests whether using a water flosser can reverse gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) around single dental implants. Twenty adults with at least one implant-supported crown will use water flossing, and researchers will check for reduced bleeding and plaque at 2 and…

This study looks at taking a small piece of gum tissue from different spots on the roof of the mouth and placing it around dental implants during a second surgery. The goal is to see which spot gives thicker, healthier gum tissue around the implant. Thirty adults with missing low…

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

This study will test whether plastic or metal probes give more accurate measurements of gum pocket depth around single-tooth dental implants. Researchers will compare readings taken with and without the implant crown in place, and also check how much discomfort each probe causes.…
