New gum treatments for deep periodontal pockets
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different gel treatments to help heal deep gum infections (periodontal disease). Researchers will test whether a newer treatment with polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid works as well as or better than an established protein-based treatment for rebuilding damaged gum tissues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether one of two treatments can improve healing of “intra-bony” gum/bone defects around teeth after deep cleaning. It may help some people with periodontal disease who have pockets deep enough to involve the bone but with certain health and dental conditions.
This trial tests a new gel made from peptides (small protein-like molecules) applied during gum surgery to help regrow bone and tissue lost to advanced periodontitis. If you have moderate-to-severe gum disease and have already completed initial treatment, this study may help regenerate lost bone around your teeth.
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 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 gel made with polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid placed into deep gum pockets after a special surgery. The goal is to help bone and gum heal better in teeth that show when you smile.
