NCT ID NCT07605767
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a melatonin gel applied to the gums can improve the results of standard deep-cleaning treatment for gum disease. Thirty adults with periodontitis received either the melatonin gel or a placebo gel alongside their regular dental cleaning. Researchers measured changes in gum pocket depth and attachment levels after three months to see if melatonin provided extra benefits.
