Study of Treponema Parvum in gum disease patients
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks for a specific bacteria called Treponema Parvum in the gums of people with periodontitis (severe gum disease). It aims to understand if this bacteria is linked to gum disease and could help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have at least 20 teeth

- Not have taken antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last 3 months
- Not have had any dental or gum treatment in the last 6 months
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding

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 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 looks at gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
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.
This study looks at the genetic and bacterial profiles in gum disease and implant infections. It might help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
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.
