Hyaluronic acid gel for infected back tooth surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether putting hyaluronic acid (a natural gel-like substance) into the bone during root-end surgery helps heal infections in first molars (back teeth) that didn't get better after a root canal. It may be a good option if you have a small, stubborn infection and your gums are healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.

This trial tests a gel made from hyaluronic acid (a natural substance in your body) to treat gum disease. It aims to see if it helps reduce gum inflammation and improve healing.
This study tests whether a special gel made of hyaluronic acid can help treat advanced gum disease in people with diabetes when used alongside regular gum cleaning. The goal is to see if this gel helps gums heal better and reduces deep pockets between teeth and gums.
This study tests whether a gel containing hyaluronic acid and octenidine can improve the results of standard deep cleaning for advanced gum disease. It may help reduce gum pocket depth and bleeding without the need for surgery.
This study tests if a gel made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid (a natural substance found in the body) can help preserve the jawbone where a tooth is removed, before a dental implant is placed later. It compares this gel to a standard bone graft material.
This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricating substance) during gum surgery can better treat gum recession—when gums pull back and expose tooth roots. The goal is to help your gums heal and cover the exposed area.
This trial tests whether a gel made from hyaluronic acid helps rebuild bone and gum tissue around teeth as well as a standard treatment (enamel matrix derivative). It's for people with advanced gum disease who have completed initial cleaning and still have deep pockets that need repair.
