Teeth and gum study in children with Down syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how gums and inflammation work in children with Down syndrome by collecting and analyzing biological samples. It may help researchers understand gum health differences and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 3 to 12 years old
- Have a child who is covered by a social security program (not AME/AME coverage)
- A parent/guardian must read and understand French well and give written permission
- In the last 3 months, the child should not have had antibiotic treatment, antibiotic “preventive” doses, or anti-inflammatory medicines
- The child should not be enrolled in another interventional research study (or be in a waiting “exclusion” period)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial studies people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or gum inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis), and compares them with people who have healthy gums. The goal is to understand inflammation and how it relates to these dental conditions.
This study includes people of many ages to help researchers learn more about Trisomy (an extra chromosome condition) in those with and without Down syndrome. It may help improve understanding and future care for people affected by chromosome differences.
This study looks at how eating patterns and body composition relate to fatty liver in children and young adults with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) or other genetic intellectual disabilities. It may help understand who is at risk and how to prevent liver problems.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) relates to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It measures the surface area of gum inflammation to better understand this link, which may lead to better prevention and care.
This study looks at how bacteria in the mouth pass between family members, especially from parents with gum disease to children. It aims to find ways to break the cycle of bacteria that cause cavities and gum problems, which may help prevent future dental issues in children.
