ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at new ways to measure and improve the health of your mouth, specifically focusing on plaque buildup and gum health. Researchers will take photographs and use imaging software to assess how well your mouth is doing. They will also explore how different toothpastes and mouthwashes can affect your oral health. If you decide to participate, you will use a specific toothpaste or mouthwash for a period of 7 days to 6 months, and the researchers will check your plaque levels, gum health, and saliva production through exams and photos.

To join this study, you should be at least 18 years old and in good overall health. However, if you have had allergies or bad reactions to oral hygiene products like toothpastes or mouthwashes, you won't be eligible. This trial is open to everyone, regardless of gender, and aims to find better methods to assess mouth health and see if certain products can help improve gum conditions.
