PERIODONTITIS STAGE III

This study compared a liquorice nanogel to a diode laser as extra treatments for advanced gum disease (stage III). 27 adults with deep gum pockets received one of the two treatments alongside standard care. The goal was to see which approach better reduced harmful bacteria and im…

This study tested whether adding vitamins A and C to a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatment helps repair bone defects in the gums. Twenty-eight adults with advanced gum disease received a minimally invasive surgical technique with PRF, with or without the vitamins. The goal was t…

This study tested whether injecting a substance made from a patient's own blood, called injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), can improve gum healing after a deep dental cleaning. Twenty adults with advanced gum disease received i-PRF on one side of their mouth and a saltwater…

This study tested whether splitting deep cleaning into three sessions works better than doing it all at once for people with severe gum disease. 48 non-smoking adults with advanced periodontitis were randomly assigned to one of the two cleaning methods. Researchers checked gum he…

This study tested whether adding a diode laser to standard deep cleaning helps smokers with severe gum disease. 33 smokers were split into two groups: one got standard cleaning alone, the other got cleaning plus laser. After 3 months, the laser group had shallower gum pockets, le…

This completed study looked at how a specific inflammation trigger (NLRP3) relates to different stages of gum disease and aging-related inflammation. Researchers measured NLRP3 levels in fluid from the gums of 80 participants with various stages of periodontitis and healthy indiv…
