This trial tests whether combining standard gum treatment with a light-activated therapy can reduce bad breath in people with type 2 diabetes and advanced gum disease.
This trial tests whether adding a special light treatment (called photodynamic therapy) to standard deep cleaning helps reduce gum disease more than cleaning alone. It may help prevent further damage to your gums and teeth.
This study tests whether adding a special light-activated cleaning (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to standard gum disease treatment can help people with obesity who have gum disease. It aims to see if this extra step improves gum health more than standard treatment alone.
This trial is testing whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a medicine used for diabetes) helps treat gum disease (periodontitis) in people with type 2 diabetes. It might show that this medication improves gum health as a side benefit.
This study tests whether adding a light-activated therapy (photodynamic therapy) to standard deep-cleaning can improve gum disease treatment. It is for adults with periodontitis who have not had recent gum treatment or taken certain medications.
