Laser-assisted gum surgery for periodontal disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a gum surgery technique that uses a laser to help clean infected gums and support healing. It might be an option if you have periodontal disease and have already had non-surgical treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult in generally good health.
- You have periodontal disease and have already had non-surgical treatment (like scaling and root planing).
- You do not have health conditions that affect bone healing.
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not taking medications that affect bone metabolism.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests adding a special laser (diode laser) to standard deep cleaning for gum disease. The goal is to see if the laser helps reduce infection and improve healing better than cleaning alone.
This trial compares two tools surgeons use to see during gum (periodontal) surgery: magnifying loupes versus a videoscope. It may help improve how the procedure is done for people with more severe gum disease.
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.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe gum disease (periodontitis): one using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning, and the other using manual tools with ultrasonic cleaning. Both aim to reduce deep pockets and improve gum health without surgery.
This study looks at how gum surgery (flap surgery) affects healing. It aims to improve recovery for people with gum disease who need surgery.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing bone loss caused by severe gum disease. One uses a small endoscope (a tiny camera) to avoid cutting the gum, while the other tries to keep the gum tissue intact. It may help improve gum and bone healing around affected teeth.
