Vitamin D for Gum and Bone Health in Periodontal Disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether vitamin D supplements can reduce inflammation and improve healing in people with gum disease, ranging from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Researchers will compare how vitamin D affects different stages of gum disease.

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 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 tests whether eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can improve treatment outcomes for gum disease. You may qualify if you have gum disease, are Chinese, and currently eat fewer than the recommended daily servings of vegetables and fruits.
This trial tests if taking vitamin D improves how well dental implants bond with the jawbone in people with low vitamin D levels. It may help strengthen the implant integration.
This study tests whether a gum treatment (periodontal therapy) can reduce inflammation in children with gingivitis. It measures certain proteins in the fluid around the gums to see if the treatment helps.
This trial tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment. It is for people diagnosed with periodontitis who are otherwise healthy and do not smoke.
