NCT ID NCT07364916

Summary
This study looks at whether using a water flosser can help reverse early gum inflammation (mucositis) around single dental implants. Twenty adults with at least one implant-supported crown will use water flossing for four weeks. Researchers will measure bleeding, plaque, and pocket depth to see if gum health improves.
