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.
