Guided biofilm therapy for gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new, guided gum cleaning method (biofilm therapy) to see how it affects certain markers of gum health and healing. It may help people with active gum disease that has not improved with standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have active gum disease (periodontitis) that is not stable, with pockets 4mm or deeper and bleeding gums
- You have not had gum treatment in the last 3 months and are not in another study currently
- You are not taking antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, or antioxidant supplements
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have a history of allergy to erythritol (a sugar alcohol used in some treatments)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a treatment called Bioperio for people with gum disease (periodontitis) who have not been treated before. It looks at how well the treatment works over time.
This trial tests whether a special blood-derived gel (called Alb-PRF) can improve the results of standard deep cleaning for gum disease. If you qualify, half your mouth will get the standard treatment and the other half will get the standard treatment plus this gel, to see which works better.
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 if adding platelet-rich fibrin (a natural healing concentrate from your blood) to standard deep cleaning improves treatment for advanced gum disease. It may help patients with widespread gum disease who have not had treatment in the last year.
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 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.
