NCT ID NCT03997578

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new surgical technique called NIPSA, combined with a gum graft and special proteins, to treat severe gum disease. Forty adults with periodontitis and deep gum pockets will receive the procedure. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce pocket depth and improve gum attachment better than standard treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

connective tissue graft plus enamel matrix derivative and xenograft

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more effective surgical option to repair gum and bone damage from periodontitis, potentially saving teeth that might otherwise be lost.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery carries risks like infection, pain, or graft failure, and long-term benefits are not yet proven.
