Eat nitrate-rich vegetables to study gum inflammation and mouth bacteria
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether eating more nitrate-rich vegetables changes inflammatory markers and the balance of bacteria in the mouth for people with periodontitis (serious gum disease). It may help us understand better diet-based support alongside standard non-surgical gum treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment. It is for people diagnosed with periodontitis who are otherwise healthy and do not smoke.
This study looks at gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
This study tests if non-surgical gum treatment can improve heart health markers in people with stable angina. It may help you if you have gum disease and stable chest pain from heart disease.
This study tests whether eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can improve treatment outcomes for gum disease. You may qualify if you have gum disease, are Chinese, and currently eat fewer than the recommended daily servings of vegetables and fruits.
This trial looks at the connection between gum disease, specific mouth bacteria, and acute coronary syndrome (a type of serious heart condition). It aims to understand how certain germs and a gene called Klotho might be linked to both gum disease and heart problems.
This trial tests if a non-surgical gum cleaning treatment can help people with high blood pressure and gum disease. It looks at certain markers in the gum fluid to see if the treatment reduces inflammation.
