Gum tissue repair for molar furcation defects
This trial tests whether a special enamel protein combined with bone graft material can help repair gum and bone damage around the roots of back teeth (molars). It may improve the health of the area and reduce the need for more serious treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your gums and teeth must be generally clean and healthy before the study.
- You need a specific type of gum defect between the roots of a lower back tooth, which the dentist will check.
- The gum pocket depth at that spot must be at least 5 mm.
- You must have enough firm gum tissue (at least 2 mm) at the site.
- You cannot have certain health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease requiring blood thinners, blood disorders, or weak immune system.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- The tooth must not have untreated root canal issues, severe mobility, or poor restorations.

This study tests whether using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) with a bone graft helps heal gum disease around a lower back tooth. It may improve the support for the tooth and reduce the need for more invasive treatment.
This study looks at the shape of lower molar teeth with a certain type of gum disease and tests a surgical treatment to help regrow the bone around those teeth. If you have advanced gum disease and a lower molar with a specific type of bone loss, this treatment might help save the tooth.
This trial tests a bone substitute material to help repair gum defects between the roots of back teeth (molars) that have not healed with standard deep cleaning. If you have a single area of gum bone loss between the roots, this surgery might help regenerate the bone.
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.
This study tests whether one of two treatments can improve healing of “intra-bony” gum/bone defects around teeth after deep cleaning. It may help some people with periodontal disease who have pockets deep enough to involve the bone but with certain health and dental conditions.
This trial tests whether a gel made from hyaluronic acid helps rebuild bone and gum tissue around teeth as well as a standard treatment (enamel matrix derivative). It's for people with advanced gum disease who have completed initial cleaning and still have deep pockets that need repair.
