Compare two ways to see during gum surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two tools surgeons use to see during gum (periodontal) surgery: magnifying loupes versus a videoscope. It may help improve how the procedure is done for people with more severe gum disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study compares two types of gum surgery for people with advanced gum disease. It's designed to see which method works better for treating deep gum pockets and saving bone.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe gum disease (periodontitis): one using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning, and the other using manual tools with ultrasonic cleaning. Both aim to reduce deep pockets and improve gum health without surgery.
This study compares two surgical techniques to treat deep gum pockets that remain after initial periodontal therapy. The goal is to see which method better reduces pocket depth and improves gum health.
This study compares two types of magnifying tools used during deep cleaning of teeth and gums. It aims to see if one tool is better at removing plaque and tartar, which may help treat gum disease.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing bone loss caused by severe gum disease. One uses a small endoscope (a tiny camera) to avoid cutting the gum, while the other tries to keep the gum tissue intact. It may help improve gum and bone healing around affected teeth.
