Gum surgery for deep periodontal bone defects
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies a specific gum surgery technique plus a biologic product to help fill deep gum/bone defects from periodontitis (gum disease). It may help reduce gum pocket depth and improve healing around affected teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with periodontitis (gum disease).
- Your gum inflammation/bleeding scores are low (plaque and bleeding index under 30%).
- Your gums have deep pockets around a tooth (pocket depth greater than 5 mm).
- You have a deep in-bone defect (more than 3 mm), involving the tooth’s outer/buccal side and shaped like 1- or 2-wall defects.
- You don’t have a medical condition that would make this treatment unsafe for you.
- You won’t have certain teeth involved (no third molars), and the nearby teeth must have correct root-canal and fillings.

This trial compares two dental gum surgery approaches to see which better helps the gum and bone heal in people with periodontitis. It may help by improving the depth of gum pockets and supporting regrowth of damaged areas around teeth.
This trial studies a way to preserve gum (periodontal) “granulation” tissue during surgical treatment for severe periodontitis (gum disease). It may help patients heal better after surgery, especially when deep gum pockets do not improve after non-surgical care.
This trial tests whether biological agents can help heal deep gum bone defects that remain after standard non-surgical cleaning. It may be an option for people who still have deep pockets around their teeth and need a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) to see which one better reduces deep gum pockets. If you have severe gum disease and have already completed initial non-surgical treatment, this trial might help improve your gum health.
This trial compares two treatments for deep pockets caused by gum disease: one uses a natural substance that helps rebuild gum tissue, and the other uses a protein that stimulates the body to grow new bone. If you have a deep pocket that hasn't healed after initial treatment, this study might help you find a better way to restore your gums.
This trial tests a special gel made with growth-promoting compounds and animal-derived material to help repair deep bone loss in the gums around teeth. It may help restore bone that periodontitis (advanced gum disease) has damaged.
