GINGIVITIS

This study tests whether a toothpaste with stannous fluoride works better than regular fluoride toothpaste at reducing dental plaque and gum inflammation (gingivitis). About 85 adults with mild to moderate gum disease will brush twice daily for 6 months. Dentists will measure pla…

This study tests whether motivational interviewing, a supportive counseling method, can help teenagers aged 14-19 with braces improve their oral hygiene. Participants receive short, non-judgmental conversations to set their own goals for brushing and flossing. The goal is to redu…

This study tests whether brushing with stannous fluoride toothpaste twice a day for three months reduces gum bleeding and inflammation better than a standard fluoride toothpaste. 120 adults with mild to moderate gingivitis will be randomly assigned to one of three toothpastes. Th…

This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence model can accurately diagnose gingivitis — early gum disease — by analyzing digital photographs and X-rays. Researchers will compare the AI's assessments to those of dental experts. If it works, this approach could make gum dise…

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can accurately diagnose periodontitis (severe gum disease) and monitor gum inflammation using dental records and X-rays. Researchers will develop and validate AI models using data from 900 patients across multiple hospita…

This study tests whether a mouthwash made from frankincense and coconut oil can help treat mild to moderate gingivitis (gum inflammation). Researchers will compare it to a standard commercial mouthwash in 90 adults over 21 days. The goal is to see if the natural blend reduces pla…

This study tested how well different home oral hygiene devices (like interdental brushes and picks) reduce plaque and gum bleeding in 40 adults with gingivitis. Participants used the tools at home and were checked monthly. The goal was to see which device works best for everyday …

This study explores whether a health app and follow-up digital meetings can motivate teenagers to improve their oral hygiene. Researchers will interview 25 adolescents aged 16-17 who have gum disease (gingivitis) to see if the app helps them build better brushing habits. The goal…

This study looks at how smoking changes the body's immune response in gum disease. Researchers compared smokers and non-smokers with healthy gums, gingivitis, or periodontitis. They measured specific proteins and genes in gum tissue to understand the link between smoking and infl…

This study looks at how metal and ceramic braces change the bacteria in dental plaque (biofilm) and affect gum health in 80 people with crooked teeth. Researchers will measure the types and amounts of bacteria, plaque buildup, and gum swelling. The goal is to understand how diffe…
