Protein Levels in Gum Disease Before and After Minimally Invasive Surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study measures a natural protein in your gums before and after a minimally invasive surgical treatment for moderate to advanced gum disease. Researchers want to understand how this protein changes with treatment, which may help improve gum disease care in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with moderate or advanced gum disease (periodontitis, stage II or III)
- You have at least one tooth with a deep gum pocket (5 mm or deeper) and bone loss shown on X-rays
- You have at least one area of bone loss between tooth roots that is 3 mm or deeper on X-rays
- You have not smoked in the past year
- You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding

This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) in young adults. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health without surgery.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for deep gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. It aims to see how well the gums heal and how smoking might affect the healing process.
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 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.
This study tests a new way to create a detailed map of your teeth and gums using two types of scans. The map helps doctors plan surgery for advanced gum disease, which may lead to better treatment outcomes.
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.
