AI saliva test for gum disease detection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial uses a new AI-powered saliva test to detect periodontitis (advanced gum disease) quickly and painlessly. It compares results between people with and without gum disease to see if the test can accurately diagnose the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to provide a saliva sample after not eating, drinking, chewing gum, brushing your teeth, or smoking for 1 hour.
- If you have gum disease, you must have a clinical diagnosis of periodontitis based on specific gum pocket and bone loss measurements.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must have no signs of gum disease (no deep pockets, minimal bleeding, and no bone loss on x-rays).
- You must not have taken antibiotics or certain anti-inflammatory drugs in the last 3 months.
- You must not have had gum treatment (like deep cleaning or surgery) in the last 6 months.

This trial studies certain proteins in your saliva to see if they can help identify different types of gum disease. It may help improve how we diagnose and treat periodontal problems.
This study looks for new markers in the body that could help diagnose gum disease. It's for adults with mild gum problems who haven't had recent dental treatment or antibiotics.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help plan and improve results of gum (periodontal) treatment. You may be a good match if you have diagnosed periodontal disease and enough healthy teeth.
This trial measures certain proteins in your saliva to understand how they relate to different stages of gum disease. If you're generally healthy and have not smoked or taken certain medications recently, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about gum health.
This study follows up with people who already took part in a previous saliva and gum health study. Researchers want to see if certain substances in saliva can predict gum disease progression over time.
This trial compares two ways of teaching about dental care—AI-assisted education versus speaking with a counselor—to see which one helps people with gum disease better control plaque and improve treatment outcomes.
