Training module for dental students with gum inflammation
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special training module (called SMILE™) to see if it helps dental students improve their own gum health and learn better oral hygiene habits. If you have mild gum inflammation, this could help you keep your gums healthier.
