Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of ozone therapy on wound healing following gingivectomy and gingivoplasty procedures for patients with gingival enlargement. It compares the healing outcomes of patients receiving ozone therapy in conjunction with traditional periodontal paste to those receiving only the paste. The study will involve 48 systemically healthy adults who will be randomly assigned to either the test or control group after surgery. The aim is to assess pain levels and overall quality of life improvements post-surgery.
