Oxygen gel and light may boost gum disease treatment
NCT ID NCT07368699
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding an oxygen-releasing gel, with or without a special light therapy, to standard deep cleaning can better treat advanced gum disease (stage III periodontitis). About 42 adults with deep gum pockets will be split into three groups to compare the treatments. Researchers will measure gum health and bacteria levels over three months to see if the new combinations work better than cleaning alone.
