Gum surgery for teeth with gum disease and failed root canal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a gum surgery technique (guided tissue regeneration) to help heal teeth that have both gum disease and a failed root canal. It looks at how well the tooth heals and how it affects your daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years old or older.
- You have a deep gum pocket that reaches the tip of the root of a tooth that had a root canal that didn't work.
- The tooth did not respond to a cold or electric test (no sign of life).
- There is bone loss between your teeth.
- You are in good health (ASA-1 or ASA-2, meaning no serious medical problems).

This trial compares two ways of doing a special tooth surgery (endodontic microsurgery) to see if using a high-magnification microscope helps you feel better after the procedure. If you have a tooth that still hurts or stays infected after a previous root canal, this study might be for you.
This trial tests whether using a bone graft (allograft) together with your own blood concentrate (iPRF) and a collagen membrane helps heal the bone and gum around a tooth with a long-standing infection. It might be a good option if you have a tooth that keeps getting infected despite a root canal and has a deep pocket on the cheek side.
This study compares two ways of placing a special filling material (MTA) at the root tip during a surgical procedure called apicoectomy (removing the tip of the root). One method is done from the top of the tooth (orthograde), and the other is done from the bottom (retrograde). The goal is to see which method works better for saving a tooth with a persistent infection after a root canal.
This study tests two types of bone graft material (from your own body or from a donor) with a special membrane to help heal a severe tooth infection that has damaged the bone and gum. The goal is to see which works better at rebuilding the area and promoting healing.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing bone loss caused by severe gum disease. One uses a small endoscope (a tiny camera) to avoid cutting the gum, while the other tries to keep the gum tissue intact. It may help improve gum and bone healing around affected teeth.
This study looks at how gum surgery (flap surgery) affects healing. It aims to improve recovery for people with gum disease who need surgery.
