Light and growth factor treatment for advanced gum disease
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat advanced gum disease using special light therapy and growth factors from your own blood to help the gums heal better after surgery. If you have deep gum pockets and bone loss, this could help save your teeth and improve your oral health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have gum pockets that are at least 5 mm deep with significant tissue damage.
- X-rays show at least 3 mm of bone loss around the tooth.
- The affected tooth is in the back of your mouth, and the bone defect is enclosed by 2 or 3 walls.
- You do not smoke or chew pan.
- You do not have other health conditions or medications that would make surgery risky.

Similar studies
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 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 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 tests adding a special laser (diode laser) to standard deep cleaning for gum disease. The goal is to see if the laser helps reduce infection and improve healing better than cleaning alone.
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.
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.
