This study explores whether people with certain rare kidney diseases or chronic kidney problems have more gum disease than others. Researchers will examine your teeth and gums to understand the connection and help improve care for people with kidney conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have at least 10 of your own natural teeth
- Not had gum treatment in the past 6 months

This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease are connected. By joining, you'll help researchers understand if treating one might affect the other.
This study looks at how a special diet might affect your kidneys and your oral health. It aims to find out if changing what you eat can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and have healthier gums.
This study looks at a specific immune marker (TLR-4) in people with gum disease, comparing those who also have end-stage kidney disease (on dialysis) to those who are otherwise healthy. The goal is to understand how gum disease might be different when kidney failure is also present.
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 gum disease (periodontitis) relates to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It measures the surface area of gum inflammation to better understand this link, which may lead to better prevention and care.
This study looks at whether a deep cleaning of the gums (called subgingival instrumentation) can help slow down the progression of kidney failure in people who have both type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. If you have moderate gum disease, this treatment might help keep your kidneys working longer.
