ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how trauma from occlusion (TFO)—which is damage caused by abnormal biting or chewing forces—affects the gums and supporting structures of teeth in different age groups. Researchers want to understand if the severity of TFO varies with age and how it relates to periodontal health, particularly in individuals who might have tooth mobility or other signs of gum issues. The study aims to recruit healthy individuals aged between 26 and 45, who have at least 24 natural teeth and do not have any conditions that could affect their periodontal health, such as diabetes or recent dental treatments.

If you or a family member qualify and choose to participate, you will be part of a group that helps researchers gather important information about how TFO may impact gum health over time. Participants will undergo assessments to check for signs of TFO and any related gum issues. It’s important to note that certain health conditions and dental treatments will exclude some individuals from participating to ensure that the results are clear and reliable. Overall, this trial aims to shed light on how age and TFO are connected, which could help improve dental care for people of all ages.
