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

Summary

This study tests a new gel that slowly releases medicine to treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis). The gel is placed directly into deep gum pockets to fight infection, reduce swelling, and help bone grow back. Researchers will study 80 people with severe gum disease to see if the gel improves bone fill and gum health.
