Pocket-X gel for non-surgical gum treatment
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a gel called Pocket-X used during non-surgical gum therapy for serious gum disease (periodontitis). It aims to see if the gel helps improve gum health in people with or without well-controlled type 2 diabetes.

This trial tests if a special gel placed in the gums after deep cleaning helps treat periodontitis (advanced gum disease). You may qualify if you have gum pockets of 5mm or deeper that bleed when probed.
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 trial tests whether adding an oxygen-releasing gel to a standard deep-cleaning procedure helps heal severe gum pockets. It may help reduce pocket depth and improve gum health better than deep cleaning alone.
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 tests a new gel that may help regrow gum tissue and bone in people with advanced gum disease. It is for adults who have already had standard gum treatment but still have deep pockets where bacteria can hide.
This study tests whether a special gel made with polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid helps heal gum defects after a type of gum surgery. It might help reduce pocket depth and improve gum health.
