Light therapy and blood gel for advanced gum disease surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new gum surgery that uses a special light (photobiomodulation) and a gel made from your own blood (PRGF) to help heal bone and gum defects caused by severe gum disease. It may be an option if you have deep pockets and bone loss in the back of your mouth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have deep gum pockets (5 mm or more) and significant bone loss around the teeth.
- You have a specific type of bone loss (called 'infra-bony') that is at least 3 mm deep, seen on an X-ray.
- You do not smoke or chew tobacco (pan).
- You do not need antibiotics before routine dental exams.
- You do not have advanced gum disease between the roots of back teeth (furcation involvement).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies an “autologous platelet concentrate” (a gel made from your own blood) to help heal deep bone defects caused by periodontitis. It’s meant for adults with specific measurements in one or more gum pockets and bone areas after recent non-surgical gum treatment.
This trial tests a treatment for deep gum disease pockets using a combination of your own blood components (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and a bone graft material. It aims to help regenerate bone lost to periodontitis.
This trial studies whether adding a biologic medicine to standard non-surgical gum (periodontal) treatment can improve deep gum pockets in certain bone defects. It may help people whose gum disease has specific “intrabony” defects, but you must meet several health and medication rules.
This study compares two ways to fix deep gum pockets around teeth: a laser (MIST) or a traditional scalpel (GBT). Both methods use a gel made from your own blood (PRF) to help healing. The goal is to see which works better.
This trial tests a gum surgery technique that preserves more of your gum tissue, with or without a special protein-rich material made from your own blood (L-PRF), to repair bone loss from gum disease.
This study tests a new treatment for severe gum disease. It combines a natural blood product (platelet-rich fibrin) with a special albumin gel to help repair bone defects around teeth. The goal is to see if this mixture helps the bone grow back better than standard treatment.
