Boron and inflammation in gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how boron levels, oxidative stress (cell damage), and inflammation (swelling) relate to periodontitis (severe gum disease). It may help understand what causes gum disease and could lead to better treatments.

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 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.
This study examines specific bacteria in your mouth to understand their role in healthy gums versus gum disease. Researchers will collect samples to measure bacterial levels and help improve how gum disease is diagnosed and treated.
