Laser Treatment for Gum Disease in Kidney Transplant Patients
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special diode laser can safely and effectively treat gum disease (periodontitis) in people who have received a kidney transplant. Gum disease is common in transplant recipients and can affect overall health, so this treatment may help protect both oral and transplant health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have received a kidney transplant and are at least 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with periodontitis (a bacterial infection of the gums and bone supporting teeth)
- You are in stable medical condition and able to receive non-surgical gum treatment
- You have not had gum treatment or taken antibiotics by mouth within a certain recent period (to be confirmed by the study team)
- You do not have an active oral infection that needs urgent care
- You are able and willing to attend all follow-up visits

This trial compares two ways to treat severe gum disease (periodontitis): one using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning, and the other using manual tools with ultrasonic cleaning. Both aim to reduce deep pockets and improve gum health without surgery.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease are connected. By joining, you'll help researchers understand if treating one might affect the other.
This study tests if a special laser and air polishing can help treat gum disease. It may offer a gentler, more effective way to clean below the gum line compared to standard scaling.
This study looks at whether a deep cleaning of the gums (called subgingival instrumentation) can help slow down the progression of kidney failure in people who have both type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. If you have moderate gum disease, this treatment might help keep your kidneys working longer.
This study explores whether people with certain rare kidney diseases or chronic kidney problems have more gum disease than others. Researchers will examine your teeth and gums to understand the connection and help improve care for people with kidney conditions.
This study tests a special low-level laser (Erchonia FX-405) as an extra treatment for gum disease (periodontitis). It aims to see if adding this laser to standard care helps improve gum health and reduce infection.
