Gum disease treatment with oxygen gel and light therapy
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced gum disease (stage III periodontitis).
- You have at least one gum pocket that is 4mm or deeper.

This trial tests a new light treatment for gum disease using a special dye that targets and kills harmful bacteria. It may help if you have advanced gum disease and haven't had treatment recently.
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 a new gum surgery that uses a special light (photobiomodulation) and a gel made from your own blood (PRGF) to help heal bone and gum defects caused by severe gum disease. It may be an option if you have deep pockets and bone loss in the back of your mouth.
This study tests a new non-surgical gum treatment for advanced gum disease. It uses a special rinse and gel to clean deep gum pockets without surgery. It may help reduce gum infection and improve healing.
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.
