Comparing two procedures for deep gum pockets
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical methods to treat deep gum disease pockets around teeth. Both methods aim to help the bone and gum heal better after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 21 years old.
- You have stage III gum disease (a serious form of gum infection).
- You have at least two deep gum pockets in different areas of your mouth.
- The deep pockets are next to single-rooted teeth or lower molars without any furcation involvement (where the infection has reached the branching area of the roots).
- You have not had gum surgery in the last 12 months or non-surgical gum treatment in the last 6 months.
- You are not a current smoker, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have not had radiation to your head or neck.
- You are willing to give written consent to participate.

This study tests a new injectable treatment using your own blood cells to help repair damaged gum tissue and bone around teeth affected by periodontal disease (gum disease). The goal is to see if this minimally invasive approach can regenerate healthy gum and bone without major surgery.
This study tests whether injecting a special substance made from your own blood can help treat deep gum pockets without surgery. It may be an option for people with advanced gum disease who have already had initial cleaning.
This study tests a surgical treatment for deep gum pockets in the lower back teeth (molars) that have not healed enough with regular gum cleaning. It aims to help reduce pocket depth and improve tooth support.
This study compares two ways to treat deep gum pockets and bone loss around teeth. One method is non-surgical and minimally invasive, and the other is a surgical approach that lifts a small flap of gum. The goal is to see which works better for repairing bone and reducing pocket depth.
This study compares two ways to fix deep gum pockets around teeth: a laser (MIST) or a traditional scalpel (GBT). Both methods use a gel made from your own blood (PRF) to help healing. The goal is to see which works better.
This study compares two surgical methods for treating deep gum disease (periodontal disease) that has caused bone loss. One method uses a special flap technique alone, the other adds a connective tissue graft to help support the gum. The goal is to see which approach better repairs the damage and improves gum health.
