Gingivitis

Researchers are testing whether a toothpaste containing isopropyl methyl phenol reduces plaque buildup and gum bleeding better than a regular fluoride toothpaste. The 12-week study enrolls 120 Chinese adults with plaque-induced gingivitis. Dentists measure gum bleeding at weeks 2…

This study tests whether using an electric flosser along with a manual toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste reduces plaque and gum inflammation more than brushing alone. About 80 adults with mild gum disease will follow one of two routines for 30 days. Researchers will measure chan…

This study looks at two different approaches to help pregnant people with gum disease get better dental care. Participants will receive free dental check-ups, cleanings, and supplies. The goal is to see which method reduces gum inflammation and improves oral health habits, and wh…

This study is testing a mouth rinse made from stingless bee honey as a gentler alternative to standard chemical mouthwashes for gingivitis (gum inflammation). Researchers will develop the rinse, check its safety and germ-fighting power in the lab, then test it in 20 volunteers to…

This study will test if a toothpaste with stannous fluoride can reduce bacteria on teeth, tongue, cheeks, and gums better than a regular toothpaste. About 100 adults with plaque and gingivitis will brush with one of the two toothpastes. The goal is to see which one controls bacte…

This trial compares a standardized siwak (chewing stick) oral hygiene program to conventional toothbrushing for improving gum health in young adults with gingivitis. Participants are dental students aged 18–24 who will follow either the siwak module or toothbrushing for 21 days. …

This Phase 3 trial will test whether a toothpaste containing chitosan, a natural substance, can reduce plaque, gingivitis, and gum bleeding better than a standard fluoride toothpaste. About 90 adults aged 18-70 with good general health will brush with either the chitosan toothpas…

This study will check if a simple questionnaire can accurately identify gum disease in adults. About 291 participants in Saudi Arabia will fill out the questionnaire and then have a standard dental exam. The goal is to see how well the questionnaire matches the exam results, whic…

This study will enroll 2,000 adults to see if non-invasive methods like smartphone photos, dental X-rays, and questionnaires can accurately detect gum disease compared to a standard clinical exam. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to analyze the images and combine data…

This trial tests whether training nursing home staff to provide better oral hygiene can reduce pneumonia in residents aged 60 and older. Participants will use special toothpastes and mouthwashes, including stannous fluoride and chlorhexidine options. The study measures how many r…

This pilot study will test whether a dental gel called theranovis can improve gum health in people with gingivitis (mild gum disease). Twenty adults with gingivitis will use either the gel or a placebo twice daily for a period. Researchers will measure changes in gum bleeding and…

This study compares a homemade herbal mouthwash to chlorhexidine, the standard mouthwash for gingivitis. Gingivitis is a common gum disease caused by plaque buildup. The herbal option may have fewer side effects. The trial will include 12 adults with plaque-induced gingivitis and…

This study looks at whether children with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) — a condition that weakens tooth enamel — have different levels of gum inflammation markers compared to children without MIH. Researchers will measure inflammatory substances in gum fluid from 76 chi…

This study looks at how a disrupted body clock (like in night-shift workers) affects gum inflammation. Researchers will measure clock proteins and immune markers in the gum fluid of 116 people with and without gum disease. The goal is to understand the link between sleep-wake cyc…

This study will test several over-the-counter mouthwashes to see how they affect the balance of bacteria in the mouth and whether they influence heart health. Researchers will recruit 200 adults with or without gum disease from dental clinics and a university campus. The goal is …

This study will test three ways to clean clear aligners: brushing with fluoride toothpaste, using chlorhexidine mouthwash, or using an oxygen-based cleanser. Twenty-one adults will try each method for one month to see how it affects bacteria and gum health. The goal is to find wh…

This study aims to understand how certain immune proteins, called NOD1 and NOD2, relate to gum disease. Researchers will collect saliva and blood samples from 75 people with healthy gums, gingivitis, or periodontitis. They will measure levels of these proteins and other markers t…
