This study tested whether a mouthwash made from guava leaf extract can reduce plaque and gum inflammation as well as a standard chlorhexidine mouthwash. 160 adults with chronic gingivitis rinsed twice daily for up to 90 days. Researchers measured plaque buildup and gum health to …

This study tested whether adding hyaluronic acid to a standard chlorhexidine mouthwash helps treat gingivitis (gum inflammation). Sixteen adults with gingivitis used two different mouthwashes after a professional teeth cleaning. Researchers measured bleeding and plaque levels to …

This study explores whether gas samples from the mouth can be collected and analyzed up to 7 days later to diagnose halitosis (bad breath). Researchers will take breath samples from 100 adults with gum disease and measure volatile sulfur compounds—the molecules responsible for ba…

This study tests an artificial intelligence system that measures the width of keratinized gingiva (a type of gum tissue) from smartphone photos. Researchers will compare the AI's measurements to those made by dental experts to see how accurate the tool is. The goal is to make gum…

This study tested two methods to help gums heal after a gingivectomy (removing excess gum tissue). Sixty-four healthy adults received either a hyaluronic acid spray (applied twice daily for 7 days) or low-level laser therapy (applied 4 times over 7 days). Researchers measured wou…

This study looked at 30 adults with braces and gum inflammation (gingivitis). Each person received two different cleanings—one side of the mouth got a newer method called Guided Biofilm Therapy (using air and powder), and the other side got the standard ultrasonic cleaning and po…

This study looks at how oral hygiene habits and gum health affect quality of life in 160 adults. Participants will have a dental exam and fill out a questionnaire about how their mouth feels day-to-day. No treatment is given—the goal is simply to understand the connection between…

This study examined 318 adults to see if coffee drinking habits are linked to gum health. Participants were grouped by gum condition (healthy, gingivitis, or periodontitis) and asked about their coffee intake. Researchers measured plaque, bleeding, and gum pocket depth to find an…

This completed study looked at 108 Turkish adults to see if understanding dental health information is linked to gum health. Participants took a reading test about dentistry and had a dental exam. The goal was to find out if people with lower health literacy have worse gum diseas…

This completed study looked at how smoking affects gum health in 484 adults. Researchers compared current smokers to non-smokers by measuring plaque, gum bleeding, pocket depth, and gum recession. The goal was to better understand the link between smoking and periodontal disease.
