Two gum treatments for deep bone defects in teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether one of two treatments can improve healing of “intra-bony” gum/bone defects around teeth after deep cleaning. It may help some people with periodontal disease who have pockets deep enough to involve the bone but with certain health and dental conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- Have periodontal disease treated with scaling and root planing soon before joining
- Have a gum pocket between teeth that is at least 6 mm deep, with bone support affected (3 to 6 mm)
- Have an intra-bony defect that is not “contained” (1-wall or 2-wall defect) in the upper or lower jaw
- Be able to come back for a 6-month follow-up and follow study instructions

This study compares two surgical methods to repair bone loss caused by advanced gum disease. It tests whether adding a small piece of connective tissue (graft) under the gum improves healing and bone fill.
This trial tests a new treatment for deep gum disease using a synthetic bone graft and a special gel to help rebuild bone around your teeth. It is for people with stage III gum disease who have not had gum treatment in the past six months.
This study tests a new way of repairing deep gum pockets around teeth that have lost bone on one or two sides. It compares the simplified papilla preservation flap technique with or without a small piece of connective tissue, both using a special enamel protein gel to help regrow bone and gum attachment.
This trial studies whether adding a biologic medicine to standard non-surgical gum (periodontal) treatment can improve deep gum pockets in certain bone defects. It may help people whose gum disease has specific “intrabony” defects, but you must meet several health and medication rules.
This trial tests whether early wound healing affects the results of regenerative gum surgery, which aims to rebuild bone around teeth affected by advanced gum disease.
This trial tests a new injectable treatment (Alb-PRF) made from your own blood to help heal deep gum and bone defects caused by advanced gum disease. It may offer a less invasive way to repair bone loss around teeth.
