NCT ID NCT07497828

First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looked at a protein called IL-36α in the saliva and gum fluid of 80 people with healthy gums, gingivitis, or periodontitis. Researchers wanted to see if levels of this protein differ between these groups and relate to gum health. The goal was to better understand the body's immune response in gum disease, not to test a treatment.
