Tooth mobility after gum disease treatment and splinting
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests how much tooth movement improves after deep cleaning and splinting (connecting loose teeth) in people with advanced gum disease. It may help if you have loose front teeth from gum disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced gum disease (Stage III or IV).
- You have gum pockets 4 mm or deeper.
- Your front teeth (upper and lower incisors and canines) are loose (grade 2 or 3 mobility).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do NOT smoke, have diabetes, or grind your teeth.
- You do NOT have a crossbite or teeth that meet edge to edge.
- Your back teeth have contact when you bite down.
- No implants next to the loose tooth and you do not need antibiotics before dental procedures.

This study compares putting a loose lower front tooth back in place and splinting it (replantation) versus splinting alone. It's for people with severe gum disease that has caused bone loss and tooth looseness.
This study looks at how gum disease treatment affects your bite and chewing ability. If you have advanced gum disease, this trial may help show whether your chewing improves with treatment.
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 trial looks at how much gum pocket depth decreases after standard gum disease treatment. It is for people with advanced periodontitis who are otherwise healthy.
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 study compares two surgical methods for treating deep gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. It will help find the best way to reduce pocket depth and save teeth.
