Retinoic acid effects on gene activity in healthy adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how a medicine called retinoic acid (a form of vitamin A) affects certain signals in your body that may relate to gum health. If you join, you would receive this medicine and researchers would check how it changes those signals.

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 tests whether vitamin D supplements can reduce inflammation and improve healing in people with gum disease, ranging from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Researchers will compare how vitamin D affects different stages of gum disease.
This trial tests a new treatment that helps reduce inflammation and heal bone loss caused by advanced gum disease. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard care for deep gum defects.
This research study investigates how certain immune proteins (JAK1 and JAK2) work in gum tissue, both in healthy gums and in gum disease. Understanding this may help develop better treatments for periodontal disease in the future.
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 two proteins in your mouth that help fight infection. It aims to understand how these proteins differ in people with healthy gums, gingivitis, or periodontitis, which could lead to better treatments.
