Gum graft boosts implant infection fight
NCT ID NCT07471386
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a small gum graft to standard deep cleaning helps control peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Thirty non-smoking adults with thin gum tissue will be split into two groups: one gets the graft, the other gets standard care only. Researchers will measure changes in pocket depth around the implant after one year.
