Saliva protein changes in diabetes with gum disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies how certain proteins in your saliva change when you have both diabetes and gum disease. By measuring these substances, researchers hope to better understand the link between the two conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes (type 1 or type 2) and gum disease (periodontitis).
- You do not have serious health conditions like kidney disease, heart disease, or nephrotic syndrome.
- You have not had a deep dental cleaning in the last 6 months.
- You have not used any antibiotics in the last 6 months.
- You have at least 20 natural teeth and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an autoimmune disease or smoke 10+ cigarettes daily.

This study looks at whether substances in your saliva can show if gum disease is getting worse. It might help find a simple way to monitor gum health without needles or X-rays.
This study looks at how gum health and smoking affect certain proteins in your saliva. It may help researchers understand more about gum disease and inflammation.
This study looks at a protein called Mitofusin-1 in your saliva to see if its levels are linked to how serious gum disease is, whether you smoke, and how you respond to treatment. Samples will be taken once before any treatment begins.
This trial tests whether treating gum disease can help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have poorly controlled diabetes and gum disease, you may be able to join this study.
This study checks whether certain substances in saliva can help detect gum disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It compares the levels of these substances in people with diabetes and gum disease, people with gum disease only, people with diabetes only, and healthy volunteers.
This trial studies certain proteins in your saliva to see if they can help identify different types of gum disease. It may help improve how we diagnose and treat periodontal problems.
