Dental pulp stem cells for gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment for moderate to severe gum disease using stem cells from donated dental pulp (the soft tissue inside teeth). The goal is to see if these stem cells can help your gums and bone heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis (usually Stage III or IV, which means moderate to severe gum disease).
- You need at least two separate gum pockets that are 5 mm or deeper, and some loss of the bone that supports your teeth (more than one-third of the root length).
- You should be between 18 and 70 years old and in good overall health.
- You must be willing to have standard deep-cleaning treatment (scaling and root planing) and to keep up good oral hygiene.
- You cannot have serious uncontrolled health problems, a history of cancer or immune deficiency, be a heavy smoker (>10 cigarettes a day), or be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special blood-derived gel (called Alb-PRF) can improve the results of standard deep cleaning for gum disease. If you qualify, half your mouth will get the standard treatment and the other half will get the standard treatment plus this gel, to see which works better.
This trial tests a special gel made with growth-promoting compounds and animal-derived material to help repair deep bone loss in the gums around teeth. It may help restore bone that periodontitis (advanced gum disease) has damaged.
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.
This study tests a new gel that is placed directly into the gum pocket during a dental procedure. The gel slowly releases an antibiotic (minocycline) to fight infection and support natural bone regrowth, which may help save teeth affected by severe gum disease.
This trial tests whether special granulation tissue can help regenerate bone and gum support in people with severe gum disease who still have deep bone pockets after initial treatment. It may offer a better way to heal these defects.
This trial tests whether biological agents can help heal deep gum bone defects that remain after standard non-surgical cleaning. It may be an option for people who still have deep pockets around their teeth and need a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
