Comparing an at-home gum treatment to standard care after deep cleaning
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if a device you use at home for 30 minutes twice a day can improve gum healing after a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). Participants will have their gum health compared to a group that receives standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 30 to 75 years old
- Have severe gum disease (periodontitis) with certain pocket depths between 5 and 7 mm in at least 8 teeth
- Have at least 24 natural teeth (not counting wisdom teeth)
- Not have used tobacco or cannabis (smoked or smokeless) in the last 30 days
- Willing to avoid certain mouth rinses, electric flossers, and antibacterial toothpaste during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing whether a special gum dressing placed after a deep cleaning can help treat gum disease. It is looking for generally healthy adults between 18 and 45 with a specific stage of periodontitis.
This trial tests if a special gel placed in the gums after deep cleaning helps treat periodontitis (advanced gum disease). You may qualify if you have gum pockets of 5mm or deeper that bleed when probed.
This study examines how gum tissue heals in deep pockets that remain after standard gum disease treatment. Researchers will collect small samples of healing tissue to better understand gum disease and improve future treatments.
This trial tests if a special air-polishing device using erythritol powder is better than standard tools for cleaning deep gum pockets (7-10 mm). It aims to see which method works better without surgery, which could mean less discomfort and faster healing.
This study tests whether a new dental gel used along with deep gum cleaning (scaling and root planing) can improve periodontitis. If you qualify, you would receive standard gum treatment plus the study gel, then be followed over time.
This study compares a standard deep cleaning method with a newer, less invasive approach for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It aims to see if one works better for patients with good oral hygiene and no other health issues.
