Laser and air polishing for gum disease treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if a special laser and air polishing can help treat gum disease. It may offer a gentler, more effective way to clean below the gum line compared to standard scaling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if using a laser with ultrasonic cleaning is as effective as manual scaling with ultrasonic cleaning for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It may be an option if you have deep gum pockets on multiple teeth and haven't had gum treatment in the last 6 months.
This study tests a special low-level laser (Erchonia FX-405) as an extra treatment for gum disease (periodontitis). It aims to see if adding this laser to standard care helps improve gum health and reduce infection.
This trial tests five different non-surgical gum treatments to see how they affect overall health. It may be a good fit for people with advanced gum disease who do not smoke heavily or take certain medications.
This trial tests whether different air polishing powders improve nonsurgical gum disease treatment in people with moderate to severe periodontitis. It aims to find a better way to clean below the gum line without surgery.
This trial tests if a special air-polishing device using erythritol powder is better than standard tools for cleaning deep gum pockets (7-10 mm). It aims to see which method works better without surgery, which could mean less discomfort and faster healing.
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.
