Adding Emdogain to deep cleaning for gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a treatment called Emdogain to a standard deep cleaning helps heal gum pockets better than deep cleaning alone. Emdogain is a gel that helps gums and bone regrow, and it is applied during the cleaning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have advanced gum disease (stage 3 or 4).
- You have gum pockets between 5 and 9 mm deep that do not involve the roots splitting area.

This trial compares a minimally invasive gum surgery method (using Emdogain MI) versus a more traditional approach for treating localized gum pockets. It may help people by promoting gum healing and improving gum “attachment” around the teeth.
This trial tests two different bone-filling materials combined with a gum graft to repair deep pockets in your gums caused by gum disease. The goal is to help your gums heal and regain support around your teeth.
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 trial tests a less invasive surgical technique for treating gum disease that doesn't require cutting the gums open. It could lead to better bone and tissue regrowth with less discomfort.
This study tests a new non-surgical gum treatment for advanced gum disease. It uses a special rinse and gel to clean deep gum pockets without surgery. It may help reduce gum infection and improve healing.
This study examines how gum tissue heals in deep pockets that remain after standard gum disease treatment. Researchers will collect small samples of healing tissue to better understand gum disease and improve future treatments.
