Testing antibiotic dosing alongside periodontal treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests how antibiotics should be added to standard gum (periodontal) treatment, including dosing and blood-level timing. It may help people whose gum disease is severe, by improving how antibiotics are used with routine dental care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to give informed consent (sign the study consent form)
- You are age 18 to 80 and need gum disease treatment with added antibiotics
- You have severe gum disease signs: at least 30% of your teeth have deep pockets (over 6 mm) and bleeding with probing
- You must not have started antibiotics in the last 2 months
- You must be able and willing to attend frequent dental checkups during follow-up
- You must be able to take study medications safely (no known allergies to amoxicillin or macrolides, or to 5-nitroimidazole antibiotics)

This study tests whether taking an antibiotic called azithromycin helps treat dental implant infections (peri-implantitis) when added to standard cleaning. It aims to find a less invasive treatment option for people with implant infections.
This study tests a new gel that is placed directly into the gum pocket during a dental procedure. The gel slowly releases an antibiotic (minocycline) to fight infection and support natural bone regrowth, which may help save teeth affected by severe gum disease.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a tooth extraction and bone graft procedure helps prevent infections, compared to a placebo (a pill with no active medicine). It may help you heal better after surgery.
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called probenecid to your regular amoxicillin treatment keeps the antibiotic working longer in your body for bone or joint infections. If eligible, you'll stay in the hospital for a few days while the study team closely monitors your treatment.
This trial tests whether adding a special mouthwash (Amphion) to standard deep-cleaning treatment for gum disease helps improve oral health. Participants will use the mouthwash as part of their gum treatment, and the study will compare outcomes to see if it makes a difference.
This study tests if adding an antibiotic (Arestin) to standard gum cleaning can improve gum health and blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
