New study tests if smoothing implants can stop gum infection
NCT ID NCT06884475
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two ways to treat peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Forty adults will either get implantoplasty (smoothing the implant surface) or standard deep cleaning. Researchers will check gum health, measure titanium particles in gum fluid, and analyze bacteria changes over 6 months to see which treatment works better.
