This study looks for biological markers, like proteins or genetic changes, in saliva or tissue to help diagnose and understand mouth conditions such as gum disease, cavities, and oral cancer. By joining, you can help improve detection and treatment for these conditions.
This study tests two gentle cavity treatments for children's permanent molars. It aims to find which method works best over two years.
This study examines tiny organisms living in the mouth of people aged 60+ or with weakened immune systems to understand how they relate to gum health. Researchers hope this helps identify early warning signs of gum disease.
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.
