NCT ID NCT07487272

First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at gum tissue from people with aggressive periodontitis, chronic periodontitis, and healthy gums to understand what makes the aggressive form different. Researchers will use advanced genetic techniques to map out the types of cells and their activity in the tissue. The goal is to find new clues about why some gum disease is more severe, which could lead to better treatments in the future. About 9 participants who are already scheduled for dental surgery will provide a small tissue sample and a blood sample.
