This study tests whether a natural tooth-cleaning stick called miswak (also known as Salvadora persica) can reduce signs of gum disease by lowering a protein called MMP-9 that is involved in tissue damage. If you have moderate gum disease, this trial could show if adding miswak to your oral care helps your gums heal better.
This trial tests a special mouthwash (chlorhexidine) to see how well it prevents gum inflammation. It compares a standard version to one that also reduces tooth staining. You may be eligible if you are healthy, do not smoke, and have at least 24 teeth with healthy gums.
This study tests a new toothpaste to see if it helps treat gum disease (periodontitis) after a standard dental cleaning. It may help improve gum health and reduce inflammation.
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 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 an AI-based toothbrush that connects to an app to help you brush better. It aims to see if it reduces gum inflammation (gingivitis) better than a regular toothbrush.
