New gel could help save failing dental implants
NCT ID NCT06914518
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gel made from polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid can improve treatment for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. Thirty-two adults with infected implants will receive standard deep cleaning plus either the gel or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the gel reduces pocket depth around the implant after 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid gel (PN-HA)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this gel could improve gum healing around dental implants and reduce the need for more invasive surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants and a short 6-month follow-up. The gel may not provide significant benefit over standard cleaning alone.
