A study of the SMILE module for dental students with gum disease
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special learning module called SMILE helps dental students with early gum disease (gingivitis) improve their brushing habits, gum health, and satisfaction with their dental training.

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 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 trial tests a special mouthrinse containing amine and zinc lactate to treat plaque-induced gingivitis (gum inflammation caused by plaque) in teenagers. If you or your teen have early gum disease and are eligible for free dental care through the Regional Health Service, this study may offer a home-based treatment option.
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 research study examines how dental plaque relates to gum inflammation in people with different levels of gum health. Researchers will collect plaque samples and measure gum health to better understand these patterns, which may help improve oral care products.
This study tests whether using an intelligent (electric) toothbrush with a smartphone app can manage early gum inflammation as effectively as professional dental cleaning. If you have mild gum disease, this trial may help you avoid or delay professional treatments.
