Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a non-surgical gum treatment that combines a special cleaning solution with a natural gel to help heal deep gum pockets. It may be an option for people with advanced gum disease who haven't had recent gum treatment or certain medications.
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 whether adding an oxygen-releasing gel to a standard deep-cleaning procedure helps heal severe gum pockets. It may help reduce pocket depth and improve gum health better than deep cleaning alone.
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 trial studies whether adding a biologic medicine to standard non-surgical gum (periodontal) treatment can improve deep gum pockets in certain bone defects. It may help people whose gum disease has specific “intrabony” defects, but you must meet several health and medication rules.
