PERI-IMPLANTITIS

This study tests whether a gel made from polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid can improve the results of non-surgical cleaning for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. Thirty-two adults with at least one infected implant and a bone defect will receive the gel o…

This study tests whether using an electric current to clean infected dental implants works better than standard cleaning during surgery. About 80 adults with peri-implantitis will be randomly assigned to get either the new electric cleaning plus standard surgery, or standard surg…

This study compares a new, less painful cleaning method (MINST) with the standard treatment for peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. About 80 adults with infected implants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see if MINST reduce…

This study compares two barrier materials used in surgery to repair bone loss around dental implants: a membrane made from donated birth tissue (amnion-chorion) and a standard collagen membrane. Fifty-six adults with peri-implantitis (infection and bone loss around an implant) wi…

This study will check if dental implants that are hard to probe (because of their crown design) are more likely to have bone loss around them. Researchers will examine 281 people with implants that have been in place for at least three years. No new treatments are given—this is p…

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