Root canal and gum treatment for combined tooth and gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of root canal filling materials (one traditional and one newer hydraulic calcium silicate), with or without a special blood-derived concentrate (LPRF), to see which better helps teeth affected by both root infection and gum disease heal. It aims to improve treatment outcomes for patients with this combined condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must not have smoked or vaped (including e-cigarettes) in the last 5 years.
- You must have both a root canal infection (endodontic disease) and gum disease (periodontal disease) in the same tooth, with deep gum pockets and bone loss on X-ray.
- You must not have had any gum or periodontal treatment at the study site in the past 12 months (except minor cleanings).
- You must not have major health conditions like diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, or take medications that affect your bones or immune system.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and must not have had any surgery in the last 6 months.

This study looks at how well a bioceramic sealing material works for tooth root-canal treatment, including cases where previous treatment did not work. If you have certain types of tooth nerve inflammation or infection, you may be eligible to help compare outcomes and improve care.
This trial tests if adding platelet-rich fibrin (a natural healing concentrate from your blood) to standard deep cleaning improves treatment for advanced gum disease. It may help patients with widespread gum disease who have not had treatment in the last year.
This trial tests whether a gel made from hyaluronic acid helps rebuild bone and gum tissue around teeth as well as a standard treatment (enamel matrix derivative). It's for people with advanced gum disease who have completed initial cleaning and still have deep pockets that need repair.
This study tests whether using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) with a bone graft helps heal gum disease around a lower back tooth. It may improve the support for the tooth and reduce the need for more invasive treatment.
This trial tests whether a special blood-derived gel (called Alb-PRF) can improve the results of standard deep cleaning for gum disease. If you qualify, half your mouth will get the standard treatment and the other half will get the standard treatment plus this gel, to see which works better.
This trial tests whether special granulation tissue can help regenerate bone and gum support in people with severe gum disease who still have deep bone pockets after initial treatment. It may offer a better way to heal these defects.
