Gum health and healing after non-surgical treatment
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 examines how gum tissue heals in deep pockets that remain after standard gum disease treatment. Researchers will collect small samples of healing tissue to better understand gum disease and improve future treatments.
This study looks at whether a standard non-surgical gum disease treatment changes certain chemicals in your blood or saliva. It may help show how treating gum disease can improve your overall health.
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 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 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 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.
