What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma to standard cleaning can treat inflammation around dental implants more effectively. About 26 adults with peri-implantitis or peri-implant mucositis will receive either standard mechanical debridement alone or with an extra plasma treatment using the AmbiJet device. The study focuses on safety, pain, and how quickly the gum tissue heals.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cold atmospheric plasma delivered via the AmbiJet system
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a faster, non-surgical way to treat implant infections and prevent implant loss.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early exploratory study. It may not show a clear benefit over standard cleaning, and cold plasma is still experimental for this use.

Inclusion Criteria: General criteria: * Men or women aged \>= 18 and \<= 65 years. * For women of childbearing age: a form of contraception recognized by conventional medicine during the study. * Written consent has been obtained from each patient for the study. Dental criteria: * Current X-ray of the implant region available (\<= 6 months prior to first treatment). * One to five implants with bone loss from the start of the part of the implant intended for osseointegration (X-ray findings). * Bleeding and/or suppuration after or without probing at the implant in question (peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis). * Clinical signs of inflammation (swelling, redness, soft tissue) on the implant in question (peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis). * Average oral hygiene (i.e., brushing teeth at least twice a day). Exclusion Criteria: General criteria: * Known allergies to materials used in the study (gold, copper, polyimide). * Diabetes (type I or type II), vasculitis, osteoporosis, osteomalacia. * Smokers (\>1 cigarette/week). * Use of medications to modulate bone metabolism (e.g., bisphosphonates). * Eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia nervosa. * Use of antibiotics within the last 2 months prior to the start of the study. * Application of local antibiotics in the oral cavity within the last 2 months prior to the start of the study. * Use of antimicrobial mouthwashes within the last month before the start of the study. * Anti-inflammatory medication within the last month before the start of the study. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Alcoholism or drug abuse. * Wound healing disorders. * Immunosuppression. * Condition following insertion of an electrical, electrically active, or electronic implant. Dental criteria: * An implant with bone loss \>6 mm from the start of the part of the implant intended for osseointegration (X-ray findings) (peri-implantitis). * Pathological changes in the oral mucosa or gingiva, such as oral lichen planus, chronic recurrent aphthae, melanotic macula, precancerous lesions (e.g., leukoplakia), melanomas. * Use of medically unacceptable types of treatment, therapies, or substances (off-label use of treatments for peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis).
