Laser vs. electric cleaning: which saves your dental implant?

NCT ID NCT07529444

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests three ways to clean infected dental implants: a laser with riboflavin, an electrolytic device, and a standard antiseptic rinse. Researchers will measure how well each method removes harmful bacteria from 90 non-smoking participants. The goal is to find the best cleaning approach before bone regeneration surgery.

Laser photodynamic therapy, electrolytic cleaning device, and chlorhexidine rinse

What this could lead to

If successful, this could identify a more effective cleaning method to treat peri-implantitis and help save infected dental implants.
