What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at fluid from the gums of 80 people with gingivitis—half children aged 8-12, half young adults aged 15-24. Researchers will measure inflammation markers to see if they differ by age. The goal is to understand how gum disease develops during growth and puberty.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help explain how gum inflammation changes as kids grow up, possibly leading to better prevention or treatment for different ages.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at biomarkers, so it won't directly improve gum health or provide a new therapy.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Participants will be recruited from the Pedodontics and Periodontology Clinics of Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University Faculty of Dentistry. The study population will consist of systemically healthy children and young adults diagnosed with gingivitis. Participants will be divided into two age-based groups: children aged 8-12 years and young adults aged 15-24 years. Individuals aged 13-14 years will be excluded due to being in a transitional pubertal stage associated with significant hormonal variability that may influence gingival inflammatory responses and confound biomarker levels. All participants will undergo clinical periodontal examination and gingival crevicular fluid sampling for biomarker analysis.

Ages
