Biologic gum treatments added to non-surgical cleaning
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have gum disease (periodontitis) stage III or IV with grade A to C
- You don’t currently smoke; if you used to smoke, you quit at least 1 year ago
- You haven’t had any gum treatment in the last 3 months
- You have at least one deep intrabony defect seen on x-ray (deep gum pocket and enough bone defect depth) and it is a one- or two-wall defect
- You are not pregnant and you can sign informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 tests a treatment for deep gum disease pockets using a combination of your own blood components (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and a bone graft material. It aims to help regenerate bone lost to periodontitis.
This study tests a new gum surgery that uses a special light (photobiomodulation) and a gel made from your own blood (PRGF) to help heal bone and gum defects caused by severe gum disease. It may be an option if you have deep pockets and bone loss in the back of your mouth.
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.
This study tests whether a new dental gel used along with deep gum cleaning (scaling and root planing) can improve periodontitis. If you qualify, you would receive standard gum treatment plus the study gel, then be followed over time.
