NCT ID NCT06781229

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study looks at the bacteria in dental plaque of 170 people with obesity (BMI 30+) who are scheduled for bariatric surgery. Researchers want to see if the types and amounts of mouth bacteria differ between those with obesity (BMI 30-35) and those with morbid obesity (BMI over 35). Participants answer questions about their quality of life and oral hygiene, and provide saliva and gum samples. The study does not test any treatment—it only gathers information.
