Dental implant bone loss: which membrane heals better?
NCT ID NCT07032259
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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) will receive one of the two membranes during guided bone regeneration. The goal is to see which material reduces pocket depth and fills in bone better, and how patients feel after surgery.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Systemically healthy adults (≥18 years) with a diagnosed peri-implantitis lesion requiring surgical intervention of any ethnicity * Comprehension of treatment plan and research project. * Presence of a single implant in function for at least one year. * Radiographic evidence of peri-implant bone loss not exceeding one-third of the implant length. * 2-3 wall defects amenable to guided bone regeneration (GBR). * Screw-retained, posterior, self-cleansing implant prosthesis. * Commitment to maintaining oral hygiene and attending follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have had a history of periodontitis, diabetes, smoking habit, or have been prescribed medications that may interfere with bone healing and metabolism * Patients with allergies to any treatment devices * Patients who have a lack of keratinized mucosa (\<2 mm), or positioning for implants or restorative designs that compromise oral hygiene * Peri-implant bone defects not attributable to peri-implantitis (e.g. surgical iatrogenic, trauma) * Anterior implant restorations (#'s 6-11, #'s 22-27) or cement-retained restorations
