Magnifying tools for deep teeth cleaning
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two methods for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) without surgery: one uses a special ultrasound device (Vector® system) and the other uses small hand tools (Mini-Five curettes). The goal is to see which cleans deeper pockets better and helps gums heal.
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 examines how gum tissue heals in deep pockets that remain after standard gum disease treatment. Researchers will collect small samples of healing tissue to better understand gum disease and improve future treatments.
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 compares three ways to treat advanced gum disease without surgery: deep cleaning alone, deep cleaning with a special blood concentrate called i-PRF (made from your own blood to help healing), and deep cleaning with i-PRF plus an antibacterial rinse. It aims to see which approach works best for reducing gum pockets and improving oral health.
