Clinical Trials & Studies
Gum Disease Study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a surgical instrument system for performing minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical procedure that uses much smaller incisions than those usually used to treat the bone damage caused by periodontal disease. The surgical instrument system being evaluated uses a videoscope (which is a very small camera) that allows the surgeon to see and treat the bone damage caused by periodontal disease. It also uses instruments designed to be used with the small incisions of minimally invasive surgery. Researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry are exploring the possibility of using saliva in an early cancer detection method.
Missing Tooth Study
Researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry are interested in detecting new genes that are responsible for a condition called "congenital tooth agenesis," including how frequently it is found in the general population.
Lichen Planus and Oral Cancer Study
If you have oral cancer or Oral Lichen Planus, you may be eligible for this research study. Researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry are exploring the possibility of using saliva in an early cancer detection method.
