Oral Microbes and Mouth Health in Vulnerable Adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study examines tiny organisms living in the mouth of people aged 60+ or with weakened immune systems to understand how they relate to gum health. Researchers hope this helps identify early warning signs of gum disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older, OR you have a weakened immune system
- You do not have gum disease (gingivitis, periodontitis, or implant infections)
- You are not currently enrolled in another research study
- You have French social security coverage or are eligible for it
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or under legal guardianship

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the bacteria in the mouth (periodontal microbiota) to see whether they differ between seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and seniors without it. You may be asked for a sample from your gums/teeth and background health information.
This study looks for tiny organisms called archaea in the mouth and how they might be related to cavities. It may help us learn more about what causes tooth decay.
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 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 mouth bacteria and the immune system may work together to cause gum disease (periodontitis), especially in people with certain genetic immune problems. It may help researchers understand what drives severe gum disease and how to better monitor or treat it in the future.
This study looks at how inflammation in your mouth might affect your body's immune system. You'll receive oral care products and provide samples to help researchers understand the link between mouth bacteria and overall health.
