This trial tests whether taking pre- and probiotics alongside non-surgical gum treatment improves healing and reduces harmful bacteria. It may help people with advanced gum disease (stage III or IV periodontitis).
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease. It aims to reduce gum inflammation and pocket depth without surgery, which may help preserve your teeth.
This study looks at how GLP-1 receptor agonists (medicines for diabetes or weight loss) affect the results of non-surgical gum disease treatment in adults with overweight and periodontitis. If you are 18-65, have a BMI of 25 or higher, have gum disease, and have at least 20 teeth, you may be eligible. Participants will either continue their usual care or take a GLP-1 medicine, and then receive standard gum treatment.
This trial tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment. It is for people diagnosed with periodontitis who are otherwise healthy and do not smoke.
This study tests a simple plan to help people with overweight and related health risks lose weight over a long time. You would follow the plan at home, chew a special gum, and send in a stool sample to see how your gut health changes.
This study tests whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can help reduce risk factors for aging and age-related diseases. It is for healthy adults aged 30 to 65 who are willing to follow this diet for several days each month.
