PERI-IMPLANT MUCOSITIS

This study looks at whether using a water flosser can reverse early gum disease (mucositis) around a single dental implant. Twenty adults with one implant and mild gum inflammation will use a water flosser for 4 weeks. Researchers will check for bleeding, plaque, and pocket depth…

This study looks at how taking a small piece of gum tissue from different areas of the roof of the mouth affects healing around dental implants. Thirty adults missing a lower premolar or molar will receive a gum graft during the second stage of implant surgery. Researchers will m…

This study tests different oral hygiene devices (like special brushes or floss) to see which removes the most plaque around single dental implants in people with early gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis). About 75 adults with one implant will use a specific device for 6 mon…

This study looks at whether vitamin D and a natural germ-fighting protein (LL-37) in the fluid around dental implants can help spot early signs of gum disease. Researchers will compare these levels in 72 adults with healthy implants, mild gum inflammation (mucositis), or more ser…

This study will test whether plastic or metal probes give more accurate gum depth measurements around single-tooth dental implants. Sixty-four adults with healthy or mildly inflamed gums will have their implant pockets measured with both probe types. The goal is to see which prob…
