Could a simple gel boost gum healing in diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07631273
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid gel to standard deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) improves gum healing in people with both diabetes and advanced gum disease. Twenty-three participants will receive the standard cleaning on all teeth, and then two gum pockets will also get the gel. Researchers will measure gum attachment, pocket depth, bleeding, and markers of inflammation and bone breakdown over six months.
