Active clinical trials for "Peri-Implantitis"

This prospective parallel, double-blind, four-arm randomised controlled clinical study is planned to assess the difference in the level of the inflammatory biomarkers expressed following the placement of the first dental implant in patients with history of periodontitis (successfully treated) and healthy controls without the disease, during implant osseointegration period. The subjects in both groups will also be randomised to receive one of the two types of implants provided which have different surface treatment.

Single arm study to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment approach using a new moldable beta-tricalcium phosphate(TCP) bone graft material and polylactide membrane in peri-implantitis.

Peri-implantitis is a non-linear and accelerating pattern of loss of supporting bone tissue associated with clinical signs of inflammation and increased probing depths compared to baseline measurements. It can present as an asymptomatic condition with infection and fast progression of bone resorption or clinically symptomatic with mucosal inflammation, redness, edema, mucosal enlargement, bleeding on probing (BOP), suppuration, increased probing depth, and radiographic bone loss. The host immune defense against bacterial challenge is responsible for the damage, and the local immune-inflammatory process is associated with disrupted bone remodeling. New studies looking for predictive and accurate early biomarkers for this pathology have the utmost relevance. David Baltimore et al. proposed a feedback loop involving miRNA-146a and TLR signaling, which has been shown to be up-regulated in inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 were the first miRNAs identified to be induced in immune cells stimulated by TLRs and proinflammatory cytokines. Precision medicine uses molecular research and different biomarkers, population studies, and big data analysis to recreate complex disease models. Several studies have compared the miRNA profiles of patients with periodontitis with healthy patients. Although periodontitis and peri-implantitis share many features, researchers' findings of periodontitis are not necessarily applicable to peri-implantitis. In fact, based on emerging evidence, peri-implantitis, and periodontitis exhibit several key differences, including their histopathological and molecular characteristics. Considering the aforementioned analysis, inflammatory miRNAs may be differentially expressed in peri-implantitis tissue compared with healthy gingival tissue. This study will investigate the gene expression levels of miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 and their correlation with inflammatory levels of their target genes in human gingival tissue surrounding dental implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis and health.

Various risk factors defined in the literature should be eliminated in order for the patient to be able to use implant-supported prostheses for a longer period of time. In the literature, such a diagram for peri-implant risk factors was first described by Heitz-Mayfield in 2020. The scheme that will determine the peri-implant risk diagram is called "Implant Disease Risk Assessment (IDRA)". This tool provides evaluation of various risk factors on a single diagram. In this study, peri-implant risk diagrams will be determined by calling the patients who have previously completed implant treatment in Kütahya University of Health Sciences Faculty of Dentistry Department of Periodontology, and the change in the risk profile assessment will be re-evaluated after the risk factors that can be eliminated are eliminated. In this study, it is aimed to predict the risk of inflammation and alveolar bone loss of the tissues around the implant that may occur in the future in patients who have undergone dental implant treatment, and to evaluate the risk profiles.

This study was designed as a 12-month, two arms, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of a supportive treatment protocol (SPIT). Thirty patients were randomized, six months after access-flap surgery, in two different SPIT groups. After ultrasonic debridement, the affected implant surfaces of the test group were treated with glycine powder air-polishing, while implants in the control group a rubber cup and polishing paste was used. Maintenance visits were carried every 3 months and clinical, radiological, microbiological and biochemical variables were registered at baseline (6 months after surgery) and after a follow-up period of 12 months (18 months after surgery).

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of regular antibacterial photodynamic Lumoral® treatment on gingival health and plaque volume, and anti-inflammatory effect of daily double light therapy on implant teeth. The study will use a medical device containing a light-activated Lumorinse® mouthwash and a Lumoral® light activator.

The purpose of this randomized trial was to compare reconstructive surgery of advanced peri-implant intra-osseous defects with porous titanium granules (PTG/Test) to open flap debridement (OFD/Control) in a non-submerged technique over 6 months.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of a diode laser (DL) as an adjunct to conventional scaling in the treatment of mild-to-moderate peri-implantitis. A prospective clinical, radiographic and microbiologic split-mouth study was conducted to test the following null hypothesis; adjunct application of a diode laser, in the conventional treatment of peri-implantitis, are not associated with a statistically significant difference regarding the microbial counts, marginal bone loss and peri-implant parameters.

The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical and patient-centered outcomes of non-surgical mechanical debridement with adjunctive repeated diode laser application (test) in comparison with conventional surgical treatment and adjunctive systemic antibiotics (control), for treatment of peri-implantitis lesions, following an observation period of one year.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the use of systemic adjunctive antibiotics in the treatment of periimplantitis is needed.
