Mapping gum disease for surgery planning
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to create a detailed map of your teeth and gums using two types of scans. The map helps doctors plan surgery for advanced gum disease, which may lead to better treatment outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with moderate to severe gum disease (stage II to IV).
- You have at least one tooth that needs gum surgery, such as deep cleaning or bone regeneration.
- You are willing to take part and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes or a weak immune system.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the head or neck.

This study measures a natural protein in your gums before and after a minimally invasive surgical treatment for moderate to advanced gum disease. Researchers want to understand how this protein changes with treatment, which may help improve gum disease care in the future.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) to see which one better reduces deep gum pockets. If you have severe gum disease and have already completed initial non-surgical treatment, this trial might help improve your gum health.
This study looks at the cells in gum tissue from people with different types of periodontitis (aggressive or chronic) and healthy gums. By understanding which cells are active and how they interact, researchers hope to find better ways to diagnose or treat gum disease.
This study looks at the bacteria living in deep gum pockets around implants or teeth during different types of gum surgery. It may help determine which surgical approach is best for your kind of gum infection.
This trial compares two tools surgeons use to see during gum (periodontal) surgery: magnifying loupes versus a videoscope. It may help improve how the procedure is done for people with more severe gum disease.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help plan and improve results of gum (periodontal) treatment. You may be a good match if you have diagnosed periodontal disease and enough healthy teeth.
