A study of a new treatment for severe gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment that helps reduce inflammation and heal bone loss caused by advanced gum disease. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard care for deep gum defects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with advanced gum disease (periodontitis stage III or IV).
- You need at least one deep gum pocket or bone loss around a tooth measuring more than 6 mm.
- Your overall plaque levels must be above 30% at the start.
- You must not smoke, have stopped smoking for at least 5 years, and not have taken antibiotics in the last 3 months.

This study looks at how the body's immune system reacts right after standard gum disease treatment. It aims to understand the inflammation process, which could lead to better ways to manage gum disease.
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 tests a new gel that is placed directly into the gum pocket during a dental procedure. The gel slowly releases an antibiotic (minocycline) to fight infection and support natural bone regrowth, which may help save teeth affected by severe gum disease.
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.
This trial studies people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or gum inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis), and compares them with people who have healthy gums. The goal is to understand inflammation and how it relates to these dental conditions.
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.
