What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two surgical treatments for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. One method reshapes the implant surface (implantoplasty), while the other uses an erythritol air-abrasive device to clean it. Researchers will check which approach works better at reducing pocket depth, bleeding, and bacteria over one year. The trial involves 45 adults with at least one infected implant.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
erythritol air-abrasive device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a less invasive cleaning method works as well as reshaping the implant, offering a simpler treatment option for peri-implantitis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures are surgical and carry risks like infection or implant failure.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 45 people

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: General Inclusion Criteria: * Participants ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years of age * Non-smokers based on the patients' self-reported smoking status, defined as patients who had never smoked or had quit smoking at least 2 years ago * Implants in function for more than 1 year after suprastructure connection Inclusion Criteria for implants diagnosed with Peri-Implantitis: * Presence of at least one implant diagnosed with peri-implantitis defined as presence of bleeding on probing and/or suppuration, probing pocket depth ≥6 mm and ≥3 mm of detectable bone loss after initial re-modelling * Absence of implant mobility * in participants with more than one implant, the implant with the worst clinical condition will be studied. Inclusion Criteria for implants diagnosed with Peri-Implant Health: * Absence of peri-implant signs of inflammation (redness, swelling) * Lack of bleeding on probing * Absence of bone loss beyond crestal bone level changes resulting from initial remodeling, which should not be ≥2 mm Exclusion Criteria: * Smokers * Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (HBA1c \>7) * Treatment with bisphosphonates * Needing antibiotic prophylaxis * Currently pregnant or breast-feeding women * History of systemic administration of antibiotic treatment during the preceding 3 months * Systemic conditions that contraindicate treatment * Use of medications known to induce gingival hyperplasia
