Peri-implantitis

Peri-implantitis is an infection that destroys bone around dental implants. Researchers are testing whether adding a bone replacement graft to standard open flap surgery improves treatment success compared with surgery alone. The trial enrolls 140 healthy adults with at least one…

Researchers at Göteborg University are testing whether adding air-polishing with erythritol powder to standard mechanical cleaning helps treat peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. The trial enrolls 80 adults with moderate to severe peri-implantitis at one or …

Peri-implantitis is an infection that destroys bone around dental implants and can cause them to loosen or fall out. Researchers at the University of Turin are following 75 patients who had reconstructive surgery for this condition. Surgeons cleaned the infected implant, treated …

This study tests a new reinforced PTFE mesh (RPM) against a standard collagen membrane for treating peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. Thirty-two adults with at least one infected implant will receive surgery to clean the implant, fill the bone defect with …

This study tests two methods for cleaning infected dental implants (peri-implantitis) in 60 adults. One method uses an electric current (electrolytic approach), the other uses hydrogen peroxide. Both are followed by bone grafting to repair damage. The goal is to see which cleanin…

This study compares two surgical treatments for peri-implantitis, a serious gum infection around dental implants. Fifty-two adults will receive either a bone graft alone or a bone graft covered with a resorbable collagen membrane. The goal is to see which method better stops infe…

This study examines whether the inner shape (concave or convex) of full-arch implant-supported dental prostheses is linked to bone loss around implants. Researchers will scan the prostheses and measure bone levels in 50 adults who have had these implants for at least a year. The …

This study looks back at dental implant cases to see if bone-related conditions—like vitamin D deficiency, calcium problems, or kidney disease—make implant failure more likely. Researchers will compare 192 failed implants with successful ones from similar patients. The goal is to…

This study looks at how dental implants heal from gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis). Researchers will compare implants that were previously treated with or without a smoothing procedure called implantoplasty. Thirty adults with healthy implants will stop cleaning those ar…

This study examines people who had surgery for peri-implantitis—a serious gum infection around dental implants—20 to 25 years ago. Researchers compare two surgical methods: using a bone substitute alone versus combining it with a resorbable membrane. By checking bone levels, pock…

This study compares two methods—air-polishing with a special powder versus scraping with a titanium tool—to clean infected dental implants. Researchers will test both methods on 90 adults whose implants need removal due to severe infection. After cleaning, the implants will be an…

This study follows 164 adults with dental implants for 15 months to see if bleeding when the dentist probes the gums can predict bone loss around the implant. Participants attend check-ups every 3 months, where the dentist measures bleeding and takes X-rays to track bone levels. …
