This study tests whether adding a special light-activated cleaning (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to standard gum disease treatment can help people with obesity who have gum disease. It aims to see if this extra step improves gum health more than standard treatment alone.
This trial tests if regular use of antibacterial light therapy can help manage and prevent gum disease symptoms in people with diabetes. It may offer a simple, non-invasive way to improve oral health.
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 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 a new approach for treating bad breath (halitosis) using a special light therapy combined with probiotics (good bacteria). It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
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.
