NCT ID NCT05533528
First seen Mar 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study compares a new surgical approach for advanced gum disease to the standard method. The new technique makes a single incision in the middle of the gum between teeth and preserves the granulation tissue (healing tissue) that normally is removed. Researchers will follow 50 patients for 12 months to see if the new method leads to better gum attachment and less bleeding.
