Comparing two gum-graft materials for bone defects
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two types of gum-graft materials to see which works better for rebuilding bone next to deep pockets caused by gum disease. Both materials are used during a minor surgical procedure to help your gums and bone heal stronger.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to advanced gum disease (stage III or IV).
- You have at least one deep pocket (6 mm or more) between teeth where bone has been lost.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have at least 2 mm of firm gum tissue in the area that needs treatment.
- You are not a heavy smoker (smoke 10 or fewer cigarettes per day).
- You have not had antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last month.

This trial tests two different bone-filling materials combined with a gum graft to repair deep pockets in your gums caused by gum disease. The goal is to help your gums heal and regain support around your teeth.
This study tests two ways to build up gum tissue where a tooth is missing before placing an implant or bridge. It compares using a small piece of your own gum (connective tissue graft) versus a man-made collagen material to see which gives better volume and shape.
This study tests whether one of two treatments can improve healing of “intra-bony” gum/bone defects around teeth after deep cleaning. It may help some people with periodontal disease who have pockets deep enough to involve the bone but with certain health and dental conditions.
This study compares two ways to treat deep gum pockets and bone loss around teeth. One method is non-surgical and minimally invasive, and the other is a surgical approach that lifts a small flap of gum. The goal is to see which works better for repairing bone and reducing pocket depth.
This trial tests whether a graft made from your own extracted tooth works as well as a traditional bone graft, both combined with a special enamel protein, to repair bone loss from gum disease.
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.
