Electric flosser study for plaque and gum health
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether an electric flosser is better than a manual toothbrush for reducing plaque and gum inflammation. Participants will use the electric flosser for 30 days while having regular checkups. This could help you learn a new way to improve your oral health.

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 trial tests a new toothpaste containing stannous fluoride to see if it improves gum health. If you have mild gum issues but are otherwise healthy, this study might be a good fit.
This trial compares using a water flosser (like a Waterpik) to using interdental brushes to see which is better at cleaning between teeth and improving gum health in people with gingivitis (early gum disease).
This study compares electric and manual toothbrushes to see which one works better for people with advanced gum disease (stage 3 or 4 periodontitis). It might help you find a more effective way to care for your teeth and gums at home.
This study tests a new toothpaste to see if it reduces plaque (sticky film on teeth) and improves gum health, including bleeding. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate gum problems who are looking for an at‑home oral care product.
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.
