Studying gum disease in people with psoriasis
Part of Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) may be linked to psoriasis. By examining your mouth, the researchers hope to learn more about the connection, which could help improve care for people with both conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) relates to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It measures the surface area of gum inflammation to better understand this link, which may lead to better prevention and care.
This study tests how a special diet affects people with metabolic syndrome and their gum health. If you have metabolic syndrome and some natural teeth, the diet might help improve both your overall health and your gums.
This study examines whether certain microscopic parasites in the mouth are linked to gum disease. Researchers will compare people with healthy gums to those with gum inflammation or disease to understand this connection better.
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.
This study looks at whether the level of a protein called high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (a sign of inflammation) in your blood and mouth rinse is related to the severity of gum disease. If you join, you'll provide samples to help researchers understand this connection, which could improve how gum disease is monitored.
This study looks at gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
