Retinoic acid effects on gum health gene expression
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests how a medicine (retinoic acid) affects gene expression in the mouth. It may help doctors understand if it changes gum health, which could lead to new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy adult between 18 and 45 years old
- You have at least 20 natural teeth (not counting wisdom teeth)
- You are not pregnant
- You have not taken antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last 3 months
- You have not had gum treatment (cleaning or surgery) in the last 6 months to a year

This trial looks at the connection between gum disease, specific mouth bacteria, and acute coronary syndrome (a type of serious heart condition). It aims to understand how certain germs and a gene called Klotho might be linked to both gum disease and heart problems.
This study looks at how certain blood and saliva measurements relate to gum disease and healing after a deep cleaning. It may help find better ways to track gum health.
This study looks at whether eating more nitrate-rich vegetables changes inflammatory markers and the balance of bacteria in the mouth for people with periodontitis (serious gum disease). It may help us understand better diet-based support alongside standard non-surgical gum treatment.
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 tiny molecules called miRNAs and signs of inflammation in people with both Parkinson's disease and healthy gums. The goal is to understand how gum health might relate to Parkinson's. It is for people with Parkinson's who have no other major health conditions and have not had recent gum treatments or certain medications.
This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid (a natural substance) to standard gum disease treatment helps smokers recover better. Gum disease is serious in smokers, and this treatment might improve healing.
