Gum disease treatment comparison for deep bone pockets
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for deep pockets caused by gum disease: one uses a natural substance that helps rebuild gum tissue, and the other uses a protein that stimulates the body to grow new bone. If you have a deep pocket that hasn't healed after initial treatment, this study might help you find a better way to restore your gums.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new treatment for severe gum disease. It combines a natural blood product (platelet-rich fibrin) with a special albumin gel to help repair bone defects around teeth. The goal is to see if this mixture helps the bone grow back better than standard treatment.
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 a treatment for deep gum disease pockets using a combination of your own blood components (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and a bone graft material. It aims to help regenerate bone lost to periodontitis.
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 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 compares two treatments to help regrow bone and gum tissue around teeth with deep bone defects. It tests if hyaluronic acid works as well as enamel matrix derivative, both applied during a minimally invasive procedure.
