Comparing gum health in different age groups with and without bite stress
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how bite-related stress (trauma from occlusion) affects gum health in healthy adults aged 26-45. It compares people who have signs of bite stress with those who don't, to see if there are differences in gum condition.

This study looks at how stress and teeth grinding (bruxism) affect gum disease. It may help us understand the connection and find better ways to manage both conditions.
This study checks if gum inflammation (periodontitis) affects your body's stress system (allostatic load). It aims to find a link between severe gum disease and overall health stress.
This trial compares how bite force and bone turnover markers change during the retention phase (after braces) in people with high-angle and low-angle face types. It may help understand why some people have more relapse after braces.
This study looks at how stress markers in saliva are linked to the severity of bite problems (malocclusion) in teens. Saliva samples will be collected and compared with dental records to see if there is a connection.
This study looks at how treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) affects your ability to chew and the force of your bite. If you have severe gum disease and haven't had gum treatment in the past year, you may be able to join and help us learn if treatment improves chewing function.
This study looks at markers of bone damage and stress in people with gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand how the body responds, which could help improve treatment.
