Finding markers for gum disease diagnosis
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.

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 looks at whether substances in your saliva can show if gum disease is getting worse. It might help find a simple way to monitor gum health without needles or X-rays.
This study checks whether certain substances in saliva can help detect gum disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It compares the levels of these substances in people with diabetes and gum disease, people with gum disease only, people with diabetes only, and healthy volunteers.
This study examines specific bacteria in your mouth to understand their role in healthy gums versus gum disease. Researchers will collect samples to measure bacterial levels and help improve how gum disease is diagnosed and treated.
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 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.
