Mouth bacteria in early systemic sclerosis
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must have at least 12 teeth that can be examined
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form
- If you have systemic sclerosis, your diagnosis must have been made within the last 2 years
- If you do not have systemic sclerosis, you must be coming for a regular dental visit

This study is looking at people with systemic sclerosis (a condition that causes hardening and tightening of the skin and can affect internal organs) to learn more about the disease. You may join if you have been diagnosed with this condition and meet a few other requirements.
This study looks at changes in gut bacteria over time in people with systemic sclerosis (a connective tissue disease). It also compares them with healthy adults to understand what gut bacteria patterns may be linked to this condition.
This study looks at dental and gum (periodontal) health in adults with Sjögren’s syndrome. It may help researchers understand how Sjögren’s affects the mouth and how patients can be supported better.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) may be linked to psoriasis. By examining your mouth, the researchers hope to learn more about the connection, which could help improve care for people with both conditions.
This study looks at the bacteria in your mouth, specifically tiny organisms called archaea. It aims to see if older people or those with weaker immune systems have a different mix of these bacteria, which might affect their oral health.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) may affect the health of your gums and mouth. By comparing the oral health of people with MS to those without, researchers hope to learn if MS is linked to gum problems, which can help improve care.
