This study looks at how well 3D printed bone grafts work for supporting dental implants in people with gum disease or bone loss. Researchers will check if the implants stay stable and how much the graft shrinks over 1 to 6 years. About 100 healthy adults who already received this…

This study tests a new program that teaches pregnant women in Bangladesh how to care for their teeth and gums during routine prenatal visits. Over 95% of pregnant women in Bangladesh have gum disease, but oral health is not part of standard pregnancy care. The study will compare …

This study will enroll 2,000 adults to see if non-invasive methods like smartphone photos, dental X-rays, and questionnaires can accurately detect gum disease compared to a standard clinical exam. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to analyze the images and combine data…

This study tests whether a newer bioceramic filling material reduces pain after root canal treatment better than the standard calcium hydroxide filling. Twenty-eight adults with painful lower molar infections will receive one of the two fillings during their root canal. Pain leve…

This study compares two single-dose pain relievers—piroxicam and prednisolone—given before a root canal to see which one reduces pain better afterward. Sixty adults with an inflamed tooth nerve and infection will take one of the drugs right before treatment. The goal is to find a…

This study gathers mouth pictures from 150 adults with different gum conditions to teach an AI system how to spot gum disease. Participants simply have their teeth and gums photographed with a special probe. No treatment or medication is involved—just data collection to improve f…

This study looks at how much final-year dentistry and psychology students know about gum disease (periodontitis) and whether that knowledge is linked to their own gum health. About 60 students will fill out a questionnaire and get a dental check-up. The goal is to see if more kno…
