New flapless gum surgery for advanced periodontitis
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a less invasive surgical technique for treating gum disease that doesn't require cutting the gums open. It could lead to better bone and tissue regrowth with less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced gum disease (Stage III or IV) and have finished initial gum treatment 3–4 months ago.
- You have at least one tooth with a deep pocket (>5mm) and significant attachment loss (≥6mm), plus a bone defect (≥3mm) between teeth.
- The tooth next to the deep pocket is stable, with a pocket depth of 3mm or less.
- Your oral hygiene is good – less than 25% of your tooth surfaces have plaque at the start.
- You are not a smoker, not pregnant, and don't have conditions that affect healing (like uncontrolled diabetes).

This trial compares a minimally invasive gum surgery method (using Emdogain MI) versus a more traditional approach for treating localized gum pockets. It may help people by promoting gum healing and improving gum “attachment” around the teeth.
This trial compares two ways to perform gum surgery (a modified Widman flap vs. a papilla preservation technique) in people with advanced periodontitis who still have deep pockets after initial treatment. It aims to find which method works better.
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.
This trial tests a gum surgery technique that preserves more of your gum tissue, with or without a special protein-rich material made from your own blood (L-PRF), to repair bone loss from gum disease.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease. It aims to reduce gum inflammation and pocket depth without surgery, which may help preserve your teeth.
This study compares two types of gum surgery for people with advanced gum disease. It's designed to see which method works better for treating deep gum pockets and saving bone.
