PERIODONTAL DISEASES

This study compares three surgical techniques for treating gum disease (periodontitis). The goal is to see which method best reduces deep gum pockets and helps gums reattach to teeth. About 60 adults with periodontitis will be enrolled. The results will help dentists choose the m…

This study tests whether a gel containing lovastatin, placed under the gum after deep cleaning, can improve gum health better than cleaning alone. It includes 44 adults with periodontitis, both smokers and non-smokers, and compares treated and untreated teeth in the same person o…

This study tests whether a new collagen material can help regrow bone lost to gum disease as well as the current standard treatment (a bone mineral graft). About 80 adults with advanced periodontitis will receive one of the two treatments during surgery. Researchers will measure …

This study compares a new, less invasive surgical method for treating advanced gum disease to the standard approach. The new method uses a single incision to preserve blood supply and keep granulation tissue (which helps healing) in place. Fifty adults with deep gum pockets that …

This study tests whether a telehealth program can help cancer survivors prevent mouth sores, gum disease, and tooth decay, and improve their quality of life. Researchers will enroll 100 cancer survivors who finished primary treatment at least 6 months ago. Participants will eithe…

This study tests whether adding injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) to a standard bone graft helps repair deep gum defects caused by periodontitis. Sixteen adults with stage III gum disease will receive either the combination treatment or the graft alone. The goal is to see i…

This study tests whether using a microscope during gum surgery helps the gums heal better than using standard magnifying glasses (dental loupes). About 25 adults with gum disease will take part. The main goal is to see if the microscope leads to faster and better wound healing.

This study looks at how the severity of pemphigus vulgaris, a chronic autoimmune skin disease, relates to gum health. Researchers will measure mouth sores and blood markers in 20 adults and compare them with dental exams. The goal is to understand if worse disease leads to worse …

This study looks at whether certain markers in blood and saliva can help predict how well people with gum disease will heal after non-surgical treatment. Researchers will measure these markers in 180 adults (healthy, with gingivitis, or with advanced periodontitis) before and aft…

This observational study aims to understand whether a specific immune pathway (JAK1/2) is overactive in people with gum disease (periodontitis) compared to those with healthy gums. Researchers will collect gum tissue from 30 adults to measure pathway activation. Findings could le…

This study looks at gum tissue from people with severe gum disease to understand how it heals and fights infection. Researchers will compare tissue from above and below the gum line, and also see if smoking affects healing. 46 adults with advanced periodontitis will provide sampl…

This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the relationship between oral hygiene habits, periodontal status, and oral health-related quality of life in adult individuals. A total of approximately 160 participants attending the Department of Periodontology will be included. Perio…
