Stem cells from donated teeth to treat gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated dental pulp (the tissue inside teeth) can help restore damaged gums and bone in patients with advanced periodontitis. If successful, it could offer a new treatment option beyond traditional gum surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced gum disease (Stage III or IV) diagnosed by a dentist
- You have at least two separate areas with deep gum pockets (5mm or deeper) and bone loss visible on X-rays
- You are between 18 and 70 years old and in overall good health
- You are willing to undergo standard gum cleaning treatment and commit to good daily oral hygiene
- You can attend follow-up visits for 12 months after the treatment
- You do not have severe uncontrolled diabetes, active hepatitis, tuberculosis, or a history of cancer

This Phase 2 trial studies whether injections of human dental pulp stem cells can improve chronic periodontitis (long-term gum disease) by helping repair damaged bone around teeth. If you have a specific type of bone defect and moderate gum pocket depth, you may be eligible and could benefit from a novel regenerative approach.
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.
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 trial tests whether a graft made from your own extracted tooth works as well as a traditional bone graft, both combined with a special enamel protein, to repair bone loss from gum disease.
This trial tests whether a dental material can help regrow the inner nerve tissue of a permanent tooth that has become non-living (pulp necrosis) after decay or an injury. If it works and is safe, it could help avoid more invasive tooth treatments.
