ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at three different ways to make incisions in the gums during periodontal surgery, which is a treatment for gum disease. The goal is to see which technique works best for helping patients with periodontitis, a condition where the gums become inflamed and can lead to tooth loss. The trial is currently recruiting participants aged between 65 and 74, as well as younger individuals aged 29 to 21, and it is open to all genders.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have been diagnosed with periodontal disease and have gum pockets that haven't improved after a year of regular dental care. Specifically, they need to have certain types of gum damage that are still causing problems despite previous treatments. However, individuals with certain health conditions, pregnant women, or those with specific dental issues may not qualify. Participants in this trial can expect to undergo gum surgery using one of the three incision techniques being studied, and their progress will be monitored to determine which method offers the best results for healing and improving gum health.
