NCT ID NCT07427004
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at 73 children aged 6-12 to see if sleep problems and certain chemicals in saliva are linked to cavities and gum health. Researchers measured things like saliva flow, pH, and stress hormones, and compared them to the severity of tooth decay. The goal was to better understand what factors might contribute to cavities, not to test a new treatment.
