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 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 gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
This study looks at whether eating more nitrate-rich vegetables changes inflammatory markers and the balance of bacteria in the mouth for people with periodontitis (serious gum disease). It may help us understand better diet-based support alongside standard non-surgical gum treatment.
This study looks at how certain blood and saliva measurements relate to gum disease and healing after a deep cleaning. It may help find better ways to track gum health.
This study examines saliva levels of a protein called mitofusin in people with healthy gums, gingivitis, or periodontitis. It looks at how this protein might relate to gum disease severity.
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.
