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.

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 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 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 study tests a new dental cleaning method that uses air polishing instead of traditional tools to see if it reduces pain and makes patients more comfortable during regular maintenance visits. Participants will be followed for 24 months to compare the two cleaning approaches.
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.
