ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different surgical techniques to treat deep gum infections and damage caused by periodontal disease (gum disease). The researchers want to see how effective the non-incised papilla surgical approach (NIPSA) is compared to the single-flap approach (SFA) in helping patients regain healthy gum attachment. The main goal is to measure improvement in gum attachment levels, while also looking at other factors like how deep the pockets are around the teeth and the healing process after surgery.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be over 18 years old and diagnosed with advanced gum disease (stage III-IV periodontitis). They should have specific types of gum defects and good overall dental health, meaning their plaque and bleeding scores are low. Participants will receive one of the two surgical treatments and will be monitored for their progress. This study is currently recruiting participants of all genders, and it aims to find out which technique provides better results for patients needing gum surgery.
