NCT ID NCT07452640
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to treat gum disease without surgery: using an ultrasonic device or special hand tools. About 36 adults with moderate to severe periodontitis will be randomly assigned to one method. Researchers will check gum pocket depth and bone levels over a year to see which approach works better.
