First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study uses ultra-high frequency ultrasound (70 MHz) to look at gum tissue in 40 adults—some with healthy gums and some with gingivitis. The goal is to see if ultrasound can detect differences in tissue thickness, texture, and blood flow caused by inflammation. Participants will have scans on three areas of each dental arch, and results will be compared between the two groups.
