Collagen wrap may boost bone repair in implant gum disease
NCT ID NCT07478978
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding a collagen membrane to a bone graft helps treat peri-implantitis, a serious gum infection around dental implants. 44 adults with bone loss around implants received either the graft alone or the graft plus a collagen cover. Researchers measured gum pocket depth, bleeding, and bone levels to see if the membrane improves healing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- collagen membrane and bone allograft
- What this could lead to
- If successful, adding a collagen membrane could improve bone healing and reduce infection around dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with 44 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit of the membrane may be small or not significant.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis characterized by bleeding and/or suppuration on probing and increased probing depth around dental implants. * Presence of circumferential intrabony peri-implant defects requiring reconstructive surgical treatment. * Patients aged 18 years or older. * Presence of functioning dental implants in the oral cavity. * Patients who are able and willing to attend follow-up visits and provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with uncontrolled systemic diseases that could affect wound healing. * Use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs within the last 3 months. * Pregnancy or lactation. * Heavy smoking habits. * Poor oral hygiene or lack of compliance with periodontal maintenance therapy. * Previous surgical treatment for peri-implantitis at the study site.
