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 two surgical approaches for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) to see which one better reduces deep gum pockets. If you have severe gum disease and have already completed initial non-surgical treatment, this trial might help improve your gum health.
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 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 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 looks at how treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) affects your ability to chew and the force of your bite. If you have severe gum disease and haven't had gum treatment in the past year, you may be able to join and help us learn if treatment improves chewing function.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) in young adults. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health without surgery.
