Miswak Stick Effects on Gum Disease Inflammation
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using miswak chewing sticks (a traditional natural stick) can reduce inflammation markers in people with moderate gum disease. Researchers will measure specific proteins in your gum fluid and cells to see if miswak helps your gums heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using a miswak (a natural teeth-cleaning twig) along with regular toothpaste and brushing can improve gum health in people with gingivitis (mild gum disease).
This study compares how well a miswak (a natural chewing stick) and a regular toothbrush remove plaque buildup around orthodontic braces. If you wear braces, this trial tests whether miswak might be an equally effective cleaning option.
This study compares the effect of a natural teeth-cleaning stick called Miswak to standard fluoride toothpaste on teeth affected by Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that causes spots on the enamel. The goal is to see which is better at managing the condition for children ages 6-12.
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 trial tests whether a mouthwash made from black mulberry (Morus nigra) can help treat gingivitis (gum inflammation). If you have gum disease but not advanced gum disease, you may be able to join for about 2 weeks of using the mouthwash along with regular brushing.
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.
