Silk and collagen patch could rebuild jawbone in gum disease patients
NCT ID NCT07574853
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new silk-reinforced collagen membrane designed to help regrow bone in the jaw for people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis). The membrane is placed during a dental procedure to guide bone regeneration. Researchers will measure bone fill and density using 3D scans. The trial aims to provide a better material for bone repair, but ongoing dental care is still needed.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical Diagnosis: Meets the 2018 International Classification of Periodontal Diseases, diagnosed with Stage III or IV periodontitis. * Bone Defect Characteristics: At least one affected tooth presents with a deep periodontal pocket (PPD ≥5 mm), and CBCT imaging confirms the presence of significant vertical bone resorption or angular bone defects (these defect types are most suitable for in-situ hydrogel filling and guided regeneration). * Age and General Condition: Aged between 18 and 70 years, any gender, generally in good systemic health. * Compliance and Consent: The subject is able to understand the study procedures, voluntarily sign the informed consent form, and commit to returning for follow-up visits as required (1, 3, 6, 12 months). Exclusion Criteria: * Systemic Interference with Bone Metabolism: Presence of poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c \> 7%), osteoporosis, or long-term use of medications affecting bone metabolism such as bisphosphonates or glucocorticoids within the past six months. * Local Anatomical Limitations: The affected tooth has a vertical root fracture, severe periapical pathology, or a residual root that is deemed non-restorable and without preservation value. * Factors Interfering with Healing: Heavy smokers (average \> 10 cigarettes per day), as impaired microcirculation can significantly compromise the biological effects of the hydrogel. * Special Physiological Periods: Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Drug Allergy: Known allergy to minocycline (MH), hyaluronic acid (HA), or similar chemical components.
