Recruiting studies
- NCT05077618Recruiting
Teeth bacteria study in seniors with and without Alzheimer’s
This study looks at the bacteria in the mouth (periodontal microbiota) to see whether they differ between seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and seniors without it. You may be asked for a sample from your gums/teeth and background health information.
Nice, CHU de NICEAges 18–90 - NCT07180849Recruiting
New fluoride varnish vs standard varnish for braces plaque
This trial compares a new fluoride varnish that contains tiny titanium particles (nanoparticles) to a standard fluoride varnish. It tests which one is better at preventing plaque buildup for people getting braces.
IslamabadAges 16–30 - NCT07030088Recruiting
Testing a new two-sided toothbrush for healthier gums
This trial tests a special toothbrush that cleans both sides of your teeth at once. It compares this new brush to a regular one to see if it improves gum health in dentists.
RiyadhAges 25–40 - NCT07029360Recruiting
Coenzyme Q10 and Probiotics for Gum Health in Pregnancy
This trial tests whether adding coenzyme Q10 and probiotics to standard gum treatment can improve gum health and reduce inflammation in pregnant women. If you are in your second or third trimester and have gum concerns, this treatment may help both you and your baby.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06980714Enrolling by invitation
Electric vs. manual toothbrush for advanced gum disease
This study compares electric and manual toothbrushes to see which one works better for people with advanced gum disease (stage 3 or 4 periodontitis). It might help you find a more effective way to care for your teeth and gums at home.
L’AquilaAges 18 years+ - NCT06576063Recruiting
Light therapy for better oral hygiene in older adults
This study tests a special light therapy (called antibacterial photodynamic therapy) used with a device called Lumoral to improve oral hygiene in older adults. It may help reduce bacteria and plaque in people who can brush their teeth and follow the study routine.
Loviisa, UusimaaAges 65 years+ - NCT06182293Recruiting
Mouth bacteria in early systemic sclerosis
This study looks at the bacteria in the mouth (periodontal microbiota) of people with early systemic sclerosis compared to those without the condition. It may help understand if there is a link between oral health and systemic sclerosis.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05852145RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing sweet drinks effect on children’s mouth health
This early-stage study looks at how drinking soft drinks with and without sweeteners affects children’s mouths and teeth. It may help researchers understand which types of sweet drinks contribute to more tooth damage.
Mexico City, CuahutemocAges 12–18 - NCT06017817Recruiting
Light therapy for implant gum disease
This study tests a special light-activated treatment (antibacterial photodynamic therapy) to fight infection around dental implants. It may be an option for people with moderate to severe implant-related gum disease who are not smokers and do not have diabetes.
StockholmAges 18–85 - NCT05470023Recruiting
Imaging study of gum health and mouth biofilm
This study uses imaging to look at how healthy your gums are and how much “plaque/biofilm” is in your mouth. It may help researchers better understand gum health and how oral hygiene affects it.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05122897Recruiting
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+ - NCT06720168Recruiting
Erythritol air polisher for dental black stain treatment
This trial tests if a special cleaning tool using erythritol can safely remove black stains from teeth caused by bacteria. It may help people with at least two stained teeth who haven't used antibiotics recently or have certain health issues.
Alfara del Patriarca, ValenciaAges Any age - NCT04567030Recruiting
AI tool to help improve gum treatment outcomes
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help plan and improve results of gum (periodontal) treatment. You may be a good match if you have diagnosed periodontal disease and enough healthy teeth.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dental plaque?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 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.
