Gum Disease and Genes in People with Obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how inflammation in the gums relates to genes in adults with obesity. Researchers want to understand why some people with obesity develop more gum disease, which could lead to better treatments.

This study looks at gum health in adults with obesity. It may help researchers understand how weight and related health factors affect periodontal (gum) status and what to monitor in bariatric care populations.
This study tests whether adding a special light-activated cleaning (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to standard gum disease treatment can help people with obesity who have gum disease. It aims to see if this extra step improves gum health more than standard treatment alone.
This study looks at how obesity may relate to oral (mouth) health problems in adults. It may help identify patterns that could guide better prevention or care for mouth health.
This trial looks at how severe obesity in children affects gum health and heart risks. It tests whether a simple gum exam can help guide future care.
This study looks at gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
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.
