Comparing five gum disease treatments
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests five different non-surgical gum treatments to see how they affect overall health. It may be a good fit for people with advanced gum disease who do not smoke heavily or take certain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced gum disease (stage III or IV)
- You are a non-smoker or smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes per day
- You haven't taken NSAIDs or antibiotics regularly in the last 3 months
- You haven't had gum treatment in the last 12 months
- You don't have any other active infections
- You don't have diseases or take medications that affect inflammation (e.g., blood thinners, diabetes drugs, estrogen, autoimmune meds, vitamin E)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two methods for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) without surgery: one uses a special ultrasound device (Vector® system) and the other uses small hand tools (Mini-Five curettes). The goal is to see which cleans deeper pockets better and helps gums heal.
This trial tests if using a laser with ultrasonic cleaning is as effective as manual scaling with ultrasonic cleaning for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It may be an option if you have deep gum pockets on multiple teeth and haven't had gum treatment in the last 6 months.
This study tests whether shining a special light on your gums after standard cleaning can help treat gum disease better. Researchers will compare light therapy combined with standard treatment versus standard treatment alone to see if it reduces gum pocket depth and improves healing.
This trial tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment. It is for people diagnosed with periodontitis who are otherwise healthy and do not smoke.
This study tests if a special laser and air polishing can help treat gum disease. It may offer a gentler, more effective way to clean below the gum line compared to standard scaling.
This study tests a special low-level laser (Erchonia FX-405) as an extra treatment for gum disease (periodontitis). It aims to see if adding this laser to standard care helps improve gum health and reduce infection.
