About this study

In this study genomic, proteomic and histological technologies for the search and characterization of epigenetic modifications and molecular or protein markers, useful in the diagnosis and progression of peri-implant diseases and prevention of implant failure will be used.

Read the detailed description

Samples stored at the Biomedical Research Institute of A Coruña, Xerencia Integrated Management of A Coruña (University Hospital Center of A Coruña), belonging to the collection of the line of research "Oral Health and Systemic Relationship" with registration nº 2017/104 will be used for the realization of the present study.

Nucleic acid extraction and histological analysis of the samples will be performed to evaluate the functional epigenetic modifications associated with peri-implant diseases, in an exploratory manner.

Being tested
Gingival and bone sample collection, Healthy individuals
Medical subject headings
Peri-Implantitis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Gingival and bone sample collectionProcedure or surgery

    Gingival and bone samples will be collected from the sites affected by peri-implantitis during their surgical treatment of peri-implantitis or histological and epigenetic analysis.

  • Healthy individualsProcedure or surgery

    Gingival and bone samples will be collected from the extraction sites for histological and epigenetic analysis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Peri-implantitisPatients with at least one dental implant diagnosed with peri-implantitis undergoing treatment for peri-implantitis as their standard of care will be included in this study.
Receives: Procedure: Gingival and bone sample collection
HealthyPatients with general good health and health gingiva undergoing extraction of wisdom tooth will be included in this study group.
Receives: Procedure: Healthy individuals

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Differences in histological characteristics in peri-implantitis subjects compared to healthy subjects, ie, presence and amount of inflammatory cells and bacteria.

    Gingival and blood samples collected from healthy subjects and subjects with peri-implantitis (including failing implants) will be used to determinate histological characteristics associated with peri-implantitis.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Differences in epigenetic characteristics analyzing DNA methylation in peri-implantitis subjects compared to healthy subjects.

    Gingival and blood samples collected from healthy subjects and subjects with peri-implantitis (including failing implants) will be used to determinate epigenetic characteristics associated with peri-implantitis.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Relation between peri-implant diseases and epigenetic modifications in terms of periodontal pocket depth.

    To determine whether periodontal measurements PPD (in mm) are associated with epigenetic modifications.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Relation between peri-implant diseases and epigenetic modifications in terms of bleeding on probing.

    To determine whether periodontal measurements bleeding on probing (BOP) (measured in percentage), are associated with epigenetic modifications.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Relation between peri-implant diseases and epigenetic modifications in terms of clinical attachment level.

    To determine whether periodontal measurements CAL (clinical insertion level in mm), are associated with epigenetic modifications.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Relation between peri-implant diseases and epigenetic modifications in terms of plaque index.

    To determine whether periodontal measurements plaque index (Sillness \& Loe index)

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Patient-reported outcome measures.

    To determine whether patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are related to histological and epigenetic outcomes.

    Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) assessed at study visit.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peri-Implantitis and Peri-implant Mucositis, run by Simón Pardiñas López at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Differences in histological characteristics in peri-implantitis subjects compared to healthy subjects, ie, presence and amount of inflammatory cells and bacteria. (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2025.
