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 trial tests whether adding a special probiotic supplement (synbiotic) to standard gum disease treatment helps smokers with advanced periodontitis. It may help reduce gum inflammation and improve treatment results.
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 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 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 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.
