Development of Inflammatory Disease Model Protein, Genetic and Microbial Biomarkers
In Brief
An observational study for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if certain levels of proteins lead to inflammation of the gums. One example of such proteins being studied is called Interleukin 1 (IL-1). This protein is found at higher levels in areas of inflammation. This type of study is called an experimental gingivitis study. It will involve stopping your routine oral health care for 21 days. If you qualify, you will receive a full dental cleaning at the beginning and end of the study. Approximately 30 patients will participate in this study at the Michigan Center for Oral Health Research (MCOHR).
