Testing a special toothpaste on gum bacteria
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a commercial toothpaste can reduce harmful bacteria in your mouth. It's for people with good general health who get regular dental cleanings and have a specific type of bacteria linked to gum disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether using a probiotic toothpaste can improve gum health in people with gum disease (periodontitis). It may help reduce inflammation and slow bone loss.
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 tests whether using a certain toothpaste and mouth rinse can reduce gum inflammation (gingivitis) better than brushing alone. It is for people with mild to moderate gum disease who have not used tobacco or certain medications recently.
This study tests a new toothpaste to see if it reduces plaque (sticky film on teeth) and improves gum health, including bleeding. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate gum problems who are looking for an at‑home oral care product.
This trial tests a toothpaste designed to improve gum health in people who have gingival problems like bleeding gums. It aims to see if the toothpaste can reduce gum bleeding and improve overall gum condition.
