This study tests a new 3D-printed device that uses small screws to gently move back molars, helping correct a type of misaligned bite (Class II malocclusion) and create space in the upper jaw. About 28 people with this bite problem will be randomly assigned to get either the new …

This study tests whether applying a 1% metformin gel around dental implants helps them heal more firmly in the jawbone. About 34 adults needing implants will be split into two groups: one gets the gel, the other does not. Researchers will measure implant stability and bone densit…

This study compares a new clear plastic expander to the standard metal Hyrax expander for widening the upper jaw in 40 teens aged 10-14. The goal is to see if the clear device works as well for correcting crossbites and improving jaw width. Participants will be randomly assigned …

This study tests a new dental cleaning method called guided biofilm therapy (GBT) for people with gum disease (periodontitis). Researchers want to see if GBT works better than standard deep cleaning by checking gum health and certain markers in the fluid around teeth. About 18 ad…

This study tests whether adding a small gum graft to bone grafting improves the look and health of immediate dental implants in the front of the mouth. About 28 adults with a damaged front tooth will be randomly assigned to get either bone grafting alone or bone grafting plus a c…

This study tests three mouthwashes (chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride, and essential oil) in 24 people with braces. Participants use each mouthwash for a week, with breaks in between, to see which one reduces plaque and gum inflammation best. The goal is to find the most ef…

This study looks at whether taking ibuprofen after a deep dental cleaning can lower inflammation and pain in people with gum disease. Thirty adults with periodontitis will receive ibuprofen or a placebo, and researchers will measure inflammatory markers in the blood and pain leve…

This study tests two breathing exercises—segmental breathing and active cycle breathing—against standard care in 99 adults recovering from open heart surgery. The goal is to see which technique better reduces shortness of breath and improves oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood p…

This study compares two techniques—TENS and high-frequency vibration—to see which works best for reducing pain during braces removal. About 90 people who have finished orthodontic treatment will take part. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: TENS, vibra…

This study looks at whether coughing exercises or a device called an incentive spirometer can help children breathe better and recover faster after heart surgery. About 99 kids aged 6 to 18 will be split into three groups: one doing coughing exercises, one using the spirometer, a…

This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with a soft robotic glove helps stroke survivors with arm weakness regain hand function. About 104 adults who had a first stroke and have moderate arm impairment will be randomly assigned to different therapy groups. The goal is t…

This study aims to find out if a specific bacterium, Treponema parvum, is more common in people with gum disease (periodontitis) compared to those with healthy gums. Researchers will collect plaque samples from 112 participants and use a sensitive test to measure the amount of th…

This study looks at whether adding parathyroid hormone (PTH) to a standard cow-bone graft helps grow better bone in the upper jaw for dental implants. About 30 healthy adults with thin jawbone will receive the graft with or without PTH. Researchers will measure bone density, look…

This study tests whether a 1.6mm or 2mm mini-implant is better for supporting teeth movement in the upper jaw. Twenty people getting braces will receive one size on each side of their mouth. Researchers will measure how stable the implants are, how much pain they cause, and how o…
