Comparing mouthwashes against oral amoeba infection
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether different mouthwashes can fight a specific amoeba that lives in the mouth and may cause gum problems. If you have this amoeba, you might join to help find a simple way to reduce it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need to have a confirmed oral infection with a type of amoeba called Entamoeba gingivalis, detected by a PCR test.
- You must not have had antibiotics or dental gum treatment in the last 6 months.
- You should not be wearing braces or other orthodontic devices.
- You cannot have long-term diseases like diabetes, autoimmune conditions, or acute infections requiring medication.
- If you are pregnant, you cannot participate.

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 trial tests whether adding a special mouthwash (Amphion) to standard deep-cleaning treatment for gum disease helps improve oral health. Participants will use the mouthwash as part of their gum treatment, and the study will compare outcomes to see if it makes a difference.
This trial tests whether a special mouthwash helps keep the natural balance of bacteria in your mouth healthy. If you join, you'll use the mouthwash regularly, and researchers will monitor how it affects your oral health.
This study compares two mouthwashes (one with probiotics and one with a natural ingredient called ethyl lauroyl arginate) to see which is better at reducing cavity-causing bacteria, plaque buildup, and keeping the mouth at a healthy pH level. It may help children between 6 and 12 years old who have mild to moderate plaque.
This study looks at the bacteria in your mouth, specifically tiny organisms called archaea. It aims to see if older people or those with weaker immune systems have a different mix of these bacteria, which might affect their oral health.
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.
