This study looks at how gums react to plaque buildup around dental implants that were previously treated for infection. It may help understand if one treatment method leads to healthier gums.
This study looks at how bacteria in your mouth change when all your teeth are removed and replaced with dental implants. If you have severe gum disease and need all your teeth extracted, joining this trial could help researchers understand your healing process.
This trial is testing whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a medicine used for diabetes) helps treat gum disease (periodontitis) in people with type 2 diabetes. It might show that this medication improves gum health as a side benefit.
This study tests whether applying a metformin or zoledronate gel during a minimally invasive gum surgery helps heal deep gum pockets and bone loss better than surgery alone. It's for people with type 2 diabetes that is well controlled (HbA1c under 7%).
This study compares two types of surfaces on dental implants to see which one works better for people with and without type 2 diabetes. If you're missing a tooth and are healthy enough for an implant, you may be able to participate.
This study tests whether adding metformin (a diabetes medicine) or chlorhexidine gel (an antiseptic) to standard deep cleaning helps improve gum disease more than deep cleaning alone. It may be an option if you have moderate gum disease and are looking for a non-surgical treatment.
