Past gum disease may impact Long-Term dental implant success
NCT ID NCT07671456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 55 people with dental implants for 5 years to see if their history of gum disease (aggressive, chronic, or none) affected implant health. Participants received regular dental cleanings. Researchers measured bone loss, gum inflammation, and implant survival. The goal was to understand how past gum problems influence long-term implant outcomes.
