Evaluating long-term outcomes of surgical treatment for peri-implantitis
Official title: Long-term Surgical Treatment Outcome of Peri-implantitis Lesions
Run by Malmö University · NCT05339789 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how well surgical treatments work for people with peri-implantitis over the long term by checking their healing and collecting samples from new patients for further analysis.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients who have undergone surgical treatment for peri-implantitis since 2014 and are willing to participate in regular follow-ups.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have experienced implant loss will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study assesses the long-term surgical treatment outcomes of patients with peri-implantitis at multiple institutions, including Malmö University and Blekinge Hospital. Patients treated since 2014 will undergo regular annual evaluations after their surgical intervention, focusing on clinical and radiographic healing assessments. Additionally, inflammatory peri-implant lesions from 200 future patients will be collected for detailed histological, microbiological, and molecular analysis. The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of surgical treatments for this condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment protocols for patients suffering from peri-implantitis, leading to better long-term outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on peri-implantitis treatment, this specific long-term observational approach focusing on regular assessments and detailed analysis of lesions is relatively novel.
