Saliva markers in people with diabetes and gum disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study checks whether certain substances in saliva can help detect gum disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It compares the levels of these substances in people with diabetes and gum disease, people with gum disease only, people with diabetes only, and healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have at least 20 natural teeth.
- You cannot have had gum treatment or taken antibiotics in the last 6 months.
- You cannot smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day.

This study looks at whether substances in your saliva can show if gum disease is getting worse. It might help find a simple way to monitor gum health without needles or X-rays.
This study looks for new markers in the body that could help diagnose gum disease. It's for adults with mild gum problems who haven't had recent dental treatment or antibiotics.
This trial measures certain proteins in your saliva to understand how they relate to different stages of gum disease. If you're generally healthy and have not smoked or taken certain medications recently, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about gum health.
This trial is testing whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a medicine used for diabetes) helps treat gum disease (periodontitis) in people with type 2 diabetes. It might show that this medication improves gum health as a side benefit.
This study looks at how gum health and smoking affect certain proteins in your saliva. It may help researchers understand more about gum disease and inflammation.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) relates to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It measures the surface area of gum inflammation to better understand this link, which may lead to better prevention and care.
