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 tests whether treating gum disease can help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have poorly controlled diabetes and gum disease, you may be able to join this study.
This study tests whether a mouth rinse containing helpful bacteria (called parabiotics) can improve gum health in people who have both gum disease and type 2 diabetes. It may offer a simple, non-drug way to manage inflammation.
This study tests whether a type 2 diabetes medicine (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) can also help treat gum disease. If you have both diabetes and gum problems, you may be able to join.
