Injectable gel to help rebuild jawbone after gum disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new injectable gel that may help your jawbone regrow after gum disease has caused bone damage. The gel is placed directly into the bone defect during a dental procedure to encourage your body to rebuild bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced gum disease (Stage III or IV periodontitis).
- At least one tooth has a deep gum pocket (5 mm or deeper) and significant bone loss shown on a CT scan.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old and generally healthy.
- You can commit to follow-up visits at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
- You do not have poorly controlled diabetes, osteoporosis, or recent use of bone-affecting medications.
- You do not smoke heavily (more than 10 cigarettes per day) and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a new membrane that helps the gum and bone heal after dental treatment for severe gum disease. The membrane is placed in the mouth to support new bone growth where you have bone loss.
This study tests a new gel that is placed directly into the gum pocket during a dental procedure. The gel slowly releases an antibiotic (minocycline) to fight infection and support natural bone regrowth, which may help save teeth affected by severe gum disease.
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 study tests whether a special gel made with polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid helps heal gum defects after a type of gum surgery. It might help reduce pocket depth and improve gum health.
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.
