This trial tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment. It is for people diagnosed with periodontitis who are otherwise healthy and do not smoke.
This study tests whether adding a special gel to standard deep cleaning improves gum disease treatment. It may help reduce gum inflammation and prevent further damage.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) in young adults. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health without surgery.
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 trial tests whether adding I-PRF (a concentrate from your own blood), povidone-iodine, or laser treatment to standard deep-cleaning helps smokers and non-smokers with gum disease. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe gum disease with at least one bleeding pocket in each area of your mouth.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe gum disease (periodontitis): one using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning, and the other using manual tools with ultrasonic cleaning. Both aim to reduce deep pockets and improve gum health without surgery.
