Saliva markers and tooth decay in osteoporosis patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at certain substances in your saliva and how they relate to tooth decay in people with osteoporosis. It aims to find if there are differences that could help improve dental care for osteoporosis patients.

This study looks for tiny organisms called archaea in the mouth and how they might be related to cavities. It may help us learn more about what causes tooth decay.
This study looks for markers in saliva or blood that could help detect oral cancer, gum disease, and cavities earlier. If you have one of these conditions, participating may help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at certain markers in your mouth that might be linked to a chronic (long-lasting) infection after a root canal. By checking these markers, researchers hope to better understand healing and possibly improve future treatment — so it could help you by giving you more insight into your own condition.
This study looks at how different bacteria in your saliva relate to tooth decay in people of different races. It may help dentists understand why some people get more cavities, which could lead to better prevention.
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.
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.
