Circadian Rhythms and Gum Health Study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether shift work and disrupted sleep schedules affect the proteins in gum fluid related to your body's internal clock. Researchers want to understand if irregular sleep patterns might contribute to gum health problems.

This study looks at how your gums react when exposed to a controlled irritant, comparing different gum response patterns. It may help researchers understand why gum inflammation happens and how to prevent it.
This study looks at special proteins in the fluid around your gums to understand how gum disease develops in young people. By studying these markers, researchers hope to better understand and treat gum inflammation.
This trial tests if taking a daily probiotic drink can help keep gums healthy in people without gum disease. You would be asked to stop using certain dental products during the study.
This study tests whether a gum treatment (periodontal therapy) can reduce inflammation in children with gingivitis. It measures certain proteins in the fluid around the gums to see if the treatment helps.
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 looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) might be related to sleep quality. It compares people with healthy gums to those with gum disease.
