Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a new non-surgical gum treatment for advanced gum disease. It uses a special rinse and gel to clean deep gum pockets without surgery. It may help reduce gum infection and improve healing.
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 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 trial tests whether adding a treatment called Emdogain to a standard deep cleaning helps heal gum pockets better than deep cleaning alone. Emdogain is a gel that helps gums and bone regrow, and it is applied during the cleaning.
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.
