Omega-3 and low-dose aspirin for gum disease in smokers
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking omega-3 supplements with low-dose aspirin can improve gum health in smokers with advanced gum disease (stage III periodontitis). It aims to see if this combination safely reduces gum pocket depth and tissue damage.

This study tests whether adding a daily probiotic supplement to standard gum treatment helps improve gum health in people who smoke and have advanced gum disease. It compares the effects of the supplement with standard care alone.
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 whether taking pre- and probiotics alongside non-surgical gum treatment improves healing and reduces harmful bacteria. It may help people with advanced gum disease (stage III or IV periodontitis).
This trial tests whether adding I-PRF (a concentrate from your own blood), povidone-iodine, or laser treatment to standard deep-cleaning helps smokers and non-smokers with gum disease. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe gum disease with at least one bleeding pocket in each area of your mouth.
This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid (a natural substance) to standard gum disease treatment helps smokers recover better. Gum disease is serious in smokers, and this treatment might improve healing.
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.
