Gum bleeding check could spot implant trouble early
NCT ID NCT06033859
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 164 adults with dental implants for 15 months to see if bleeding when the dentist probes the gums can predict bone loss around the implant. Participants attend check-ups every 3 months, where the dentist measures bleeding and takes X-rays to track bone levels. The goal is to find a simple way to catch implant disease early.
