This study is comparing three different surgical techniques for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It will involve 60 patients with deep gum pockets and bone loss. The goal is to see which surgical approach is most effective at reducing pocket depth, improving gum att…

This study is testing if a liquid made from a patient's own blood can help gums heal better after a deep cleaning for moderate to severe gum disease. In this split-mouth trial, one side of a patient's mouth gets the blood product while the other side gets a standard saline rinse …

This study is testing whether a special, high-frequency ultrasound scanner can detect early signs of gum inflammation (gingivitis). Researchers will compare ultrasound images of the gums from 40 healthy volunteers and people with gingivitis. The goal is to see if this technology …

This study aims to see if digital tools like 3D mouth scanners and special X-rays can find dental problems as well as or better than a standard dentist's exam. Researchers will compare the two methods in 350 adults visiting dental offices for a check-up. The goal is to understand…

This study is testing if a special light therapy, used during dental cleaning, works better than standard cleaning alone to reduce bad breath in people who have both type 2 diabetes and serious gum disease. Researchers will compare the two treatments over six months to see which …

This study is testing a specific injection technique for numbing the gums during surgery for gum disease. It aims to see if this method is as effective as the standard injection at blocking pain. Researchers will measure pain levels during and after the procedure in 60 adult pati…

This study is testing whether adding tongue scraping to standard oral hygiene instructions helps reduce bad breath in people with gum disease. Researchers will compare the standard gum cleaning treatment with and without the use of a tongue scraper. The goal is to see if this sim…

This study is checking if taking ibuprofen (a common anti-inflammatory painkiller) can reduce inflammation and pain after a deep dental cleaning for gum disease. Researchers will measure inflammation markers in the blood and track pain levels in 30 adults with periodontitis. One …
