Gum gel shows promise in small study
NCT ID NCT07534449
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special gel could help treat gum disease. Twelve adults with moderate gum disease received standard deep cleaning plus the gel. They also used the gel and a special toothpaste at home. After 8 weeks, their gum pockets and bleeding improved. The study was small and had no comparison group, so more research is needed.
