Brief summary
This study investigates whether adding a gel containing a naturally occurring molecule that helps with wound healing, hyaluronic acid (HA), can improve treatment outcomes for people with an infection around dental implants that causes gum inflammation and bone loss (peri-implantitis). The hypothesis is that the additional use of the gel will improve clinical outcomes.
