Predictive Value of Reduced Keratinized Mucosa on the Secondary Prevention of Peri-implant Mucositis and Periimplantitis in Patients Attending Regular Supportive Peri-implant Care. A Longitudinal Analysis

Germany104 participantsStarted 2020-02-12

Plain-language summary

* Capture of the potential risk factor "lack of band of keratinised mucosa" over a period of up to 5 years. * Recording of peri-implant inflammatory processes in study participants that are not recorded during normal tooth cleaning * Registration of the extent of radiographic bone loss. Bone resorption through analysis of existing X-ray images * Individual therapy recommendation/individual supportive peri-implant care in case of peri-implant inflammation * The present study was specifically designed to investigate the effect of reduced width of keratinized mucosa (KM) on the secondary prevention of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis in patients attending a supportive peri-implant care program (SPIC) over an observation period of up to five years.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
