Studying Healing Tissue in Deep Gum Pockets
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have completed non-surgical gum disease treatment with good results (low plaque and bleeding)
- Have at least one deep gum pocket (5mm or deeper) that didn't fully heal with standard treatment
- Not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or a current smoker
- Not have taken antibiotics or certain medications in the past 3 months
- Not have serious health conditions affecting your gums (heart disease, infections, diabetes, etc.)

This study looks at how certain blood and saliva measurements relate to gum disease and healing after a deep cleaning. It may help find better ways to track gum health.
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 study compares two surgical techniques to treat deep gum pockets that remain after initial periodontal therapy. The goal is to see which method better reduces pocket depth and improves gum health.
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 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 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.
