Chronic periodontitis

This pilot study tests whether using a videoscope—a small camera that gives surgeons a magnified, clearer view—during minimally invasive gum surgery improves outcomes for people with severe chronic periodontitis. Participants are randomly assigned to receive surgery with the vide…

This study tests a minimally-invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST) for treating gum disease-related bone defects. The approach uses small instruments and magnification to clean deep gum pockets with less tissue damage than traditional surgery. Researchers will measure bone healin…

This study tests whether using a patient's own extracted tooth as a bone graft works as well as a traditional bone graft to repair bone damage from severe gum disease. Sixty adults with chronic periodontitis will receive one of the two graft types, both combined with a healing ge…

This study tested whether adding injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (i-PRF), a natural concentrate from a patient's own blood, to standard deep cleaning improves gum disease outcomes. In 13 adults with moderate to severe periodontitis, one side of the mouth received the combined tre…

This study looks at whether taking antidepressants can reduce gum inflammation in people with chronic periodontitis (gum disease) and depression. Researchers will collect gum fluid and plaque samples from 92 patients during routine dental procedures. The goal is to see if depress…
