Probiotics to Help Treat Advanced Gum Disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics (beneficial bacteria) alongside standard gum disease treatment can help reduce deep pockets in your gums and improve healing. You'd be asked to take probiotics as an add-on to the care you're already receiving.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether using a probiotic toothpaste can improve gum health in people with gum disease (periodontitis). It may help reduce inflammation and slow bone loss.
This trial looks at how much gum pocket depth decreases after standard gum disease treatment. It is for people with advanced periodontitis who are otherwise healthy.
This study examines how gum tissue heals in deep pockets that remain after standard gum disease treatment. Researchers will collect small samples of healing tissue to better understand gum disease and improve future treatments.
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 non-surgical gum treatment that combines a special cleaning solution with a natural gel to help heal deep gum pockets. It may be an option for people with advanced gum disease who haven't had recent gum treatment or certain medications.
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.
