Effects of diabetes and obesity drugs on saliva and oral health
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, used for type 2 diabetes and obesity, affect your saliva and oral health. If you are new to this medication, you may help us understand its benefits and risks for your mouth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 to 65 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or obesity.
- You must be starting a GLP-1 receptor agonist for the first time.
- You must be willing to give saliva samples and answer questionnaires.
- You must not have Sjögren's syndrome, prior head or neck radiation, or take certain medications that affect saliva.

This study looks at whether taking GLP-1 medications (commonly used for diabetes or weight loss) can improve gum health and the response to standard non-surgical gum disease treatment. If you are on a GLP-1 drug and have gum disease, this trial may help determine if your treatment works better.
This study tracks how your eating behavior changes when you take obesity medication. Researchers want to understand what happens to your appetite and food choices before, during, and after treatment to help improve how these medications work.
This study tests whether drinking more water helps reduce uncomfortable side effects (like nausea and vomiting) when you first start taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss or diabetes. You'll be asked to follow a hydration plan and report how you feel.
This study uses a special full-body PET scan to see how two natural hormones, GIP and GLP-1, affect how your body uses sugar and moves blood. It includes healthy volunteers and people with type 2 diabetes who are on metformin only.
This study looks at how obesity is linked to oral health problems like gum disease and tooth decay. If you are an adult with obesity, researchers want to learn more about your mouth health to improve care.
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.
