NCT ID NCT07731113
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether applying a gel containing hyaluronic acid and chlorhexidine after a minimally invasive deep cleaning can improve gum healing in people with advanced periodontitis (stage III or IV). Participants receive either the deep cleaning alone or the cleaning plus the gel. The study measures changes in pocket depth and gum attachment levels to see if the gel provides extra benefit.
