This trial tests a new gel that releases oxygen combined with a special light treatment to help heal advanced gum disease. It might help if standard treatments haven't been enough.
This trial tests a green tea extract (EGCG) as an add-on to standard gum disease treatment, delivered locally to the gums. It aims to see if this natural compound can help improve gum health more effectively than standard care alone.
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 study tests a special gel that is activated by light to treat gum disease that has not healed after standard cleaning. It might help reduce deep gum pockets without surgery.
This study tests whether adding a light-activated therapy (photodynamic therapy) to standard deep-cleaning can improve gum disease treatment. It is for adults with periodontitis who have not had recent gum treatment or taken certain medications.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) can help treat infection and inflammation around dental implants without surgery. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate peri-implantitis who don't smoke and have healthy gums otherwise.
