Dental Cleaning to Prevent Graft-Versus-Host Disease
This study tests whether professional dental cleaning after a stem cell transplant can help prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a condition where transplanted immune cells attack your body. You'll receive dental cleanings and be followed for one year to see if this simple preventive step reduces GVHD complications.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05384132Recruiting
Dental gel trial with deep cleaning for gum disease
This study tests whether a new dental gel used along with deep gum cleaning (scaling and root planing) can improve periodontitis. If you qualify, you would receive standard gum treatment plus the study gel, then be followed over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT06286501Recruiting
Preventive treatment for teens at risk of oral diseases
This trial tests a new preventive treatment for teenagers at risk of tooth decay and gum disease. It uses a special mouthpiece device (Lumoral) to clean teeth better and see if it can prevent oral health problems.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges 14–16 - NCT07414173RecruitingPhase 4
Mouthrinse for plaque and gum health
This study tests whether a special antimicrobial mouthrinse can reduce plaque buildup and improve gum health over 6 months. If you have early gum disease (gingivitis) and are generally healthy, this trial may be a good fit.
SchenefeldAges 18–70 - NCT06517238Recruiting
Digital tool to improve dental care during braces treatment
This trial tests a new digital communication tool that helps your dentist and orthodontist work together better. The goal is to improve how your teeth are cared for while you have braces.
ReimsAges 8–18 - NCT06984744Recruiting
Gum health study testing a new compound
This study tests a compound in gum to see how well it prevents plaque buildup over 4 days. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult with at least 20 natural teeth and some existing plaque.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–65 - NCT07706647Recruiting
Oil pulling for gum health trial
This study tests if oil pulling (swishing oil in your mouth) can reduce gum inflammation and bleeding. It compares oil pulling to a standard mouthwash to see which is better for gum health.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT07779564Recruiting
Electric flosser study for plaque and gum health
This study tests whether an electric flosser is better than a manual toothbrush for reducing plaque and gum inflammation. Participants will use the electric flosser for 30 days while having regular checkups. This could help you learn a new way to improve your oral health.
Fort Wayne, IndianaAges 18–70 - NCT07611942Recruiting

Study of dental health after IPR with clear aligners
This study looks at how the teeth and gums are doing after a common orthodontic step called IPR (a slight smoothing between teeth) in people wearing clear aligners. It will help understand if this procedure keeps your mouth healthy.
NaplesAges 17–100 - NCT07614490RecruitingPhase 4
Dental plaque and gum health study
This research study examines how dental plaque relates to gum inflammation in people with different levels of gum health. Researchers will collect plaque samples and measure gum health to better understand these patterns, which may help improve oral care products.

Study of plaque biofilm on temporary implant crown rings
This study looks at how plaque-biofilm (a thin layer of germs that can stick to surfaces) forms on temporary parts of dental implant crowns. If you have dental implants and are healthy and stable with gum health, your care team may use specific temporary rings to study biofilm buildup.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06017817Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dental plaque?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 38 recruiting dental plaque studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a dental plaque trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a dental plaque trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
