Gum disease study seeks perfect antibiotic recipe
NCT ID NCT04669717
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole work in the body when used with deep cleaning for severe gum disease. Researchers want to find the best dose and treatment length (3 vs 7 days) to kill harmful bacteria without overusing antibiotics. About 45 adults with severe gum disease will participate, and their gum fluid, saliva, and blood will be tested over 6 months.
