This study looks for markers in saliva or blood that could help detect oral cancer, gum disease, and cavities earlier. If you have one of these conditions, participating may help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
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.
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 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 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.
This study tests a new way to look at cavities (tooth decay) during dental check-ups. If you have a cavity, taking part may help your dentist get a more accurate picture of it, which could guide better treatment.
