Collecting biological samples for oral and maxillofacial research
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study collects leftover samples (like tissue, saliva, or blood) from routine dental visits or oral surgeries. The samples are used to learn more about mouth and jaw diseases, with no extra procedures needed.

This study collects small cell samples from certain body tissues during planned orthopedic surgeries. The researchers will study these cells to understand their potential use in future treatments and to see if using them is safe and helpful.
This study collects small samples of blood and cells from the inside of your mouth. Depending on your age, it may also collect bone marrow and skin (for research lab testing). It’s mainly about research planning and analysis rather than treating a disease.
This study collects blood, tissue, or other samples from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand diseases and develop new tests or treatments. You can choose to participate if you meet the basic health and age requirements.
This study looks for tiny organisms called archaea in the mouth and how they might be related to cavities. It may help us learn more about what causes tooth decay.
This study collects blood and other samples from people with certain infectious diseases to build a biobank for future research. By participating, you help scientists better understand and develop treatments for these infections.
This study collects and stores tumor and blood samples from children and young adults with cancer, blood disorders, or immune conditions. The samples are used to better understand these diseases and could help future treatments.
