GINGIVITIS AND PERIODONTAL DISEASES

This study tested whether a new mouthwash called MicroRepair ABX works as well as the standard chlorhexidine mouthwash for treating plaque-induced gingivitis (gum inflammation). Forty adults with gum disease used one of the two mouthwashes twice daily for 14 days after a professi…

This study tested whether taking a daily probiotic (Bifidobacterium Lactis HN019) can reduce plaque buildup and gum bleeding in people undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners. Sixty participants, aged 10 to 30, took the probiotic or a placebo for a period w…

This study tested a special dental floss coated with a probiotic (good bacteria) to see if it could reduce harmful mouth germs and improve gum health. Thirty-three healthy men used the probiotic floss and a placebo floss for two weeks each, with a break in between. Researchers me…

This study looked at 30 adults with braces and gum inflammation (gingivitis). Each person received two different cleanings—one side of the mouth got a newer method called Guided Biofilm Therapy (using air and powder), and the other side got the standard ultrasonic cleaning and po…

This study looked at whether certain amino acids in saliva differ between people with healthy gums, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Researchers also tracked how these amino acids changed after standard non-surgical gum treatment in 32 periodontitis patients. The goal is to see if …

This study looks at proteins that help parts of cells communicate—specifically mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum—in people with healthy gums, gingivitis, or advanced gum disease. Researchers measure these proteins in saliva and gum fluid to see if they relate to inflamma…

This study explored whether how addicted a person is to nicotine affects their awareness of having gum disease. Researchers examined 350 smokers with gingivitis or periodontitis, measuring their nicotine dependence with a standard test and asking about their gum health. The goal …
