Timing of follow-up after deep cleaning for advanced gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different schedules for following up after a standard deep-cleaning gum treatment. It aims to find the best timing for check-ups to improve outcomes for people with advanced gum disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 how your gums heal after deep cleaning, by measuring certain natural chemicals in the fluid around your teeth. If you join, researchers will track these levels over three months to understand the healing process better.
This study tests whether a new dental gel used along with deep gum cleaning (scaling and root planing) can improve periodontitis. If you qualify, you would receive standard gum treatment plus the study gel, then be followed over time.
This study compares two types of magnifying tools used during deep cleaning of teeth and gums. It aims to see if one tool is better at removing plaque and tartar, which may help treat gum disease.
This study follows up with people who already took part in a previous saliva and gum health study. Researchers want to see if certain substances in saliva can predict gum disease progression over time.
This study compares a standard deep cleaning method with a newer, less invasive approach for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It aims to see if one works better for patients with good oral hygiene and no other health issues.
