Aphthous Ulcer (Canker Sore) Study

This study will test the efficacy of a drug combination called 2-DeNT Oral Topical Powder in the treatment of mouth sores also known as aphthous ulcers or canker sores. Although there are many treatments proposed to treat these mouth ulcers, few have been shown to be effective, and there is only one current medication that is FDA approved. 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.

Orthodontic Study

If your child's upper teeth are too far in front of the lower teeth, you might be eligible to participate in a research study being conducted by the Department of Orthodontics, Texas A&M Health Science Center, Baylor College of Dentistry. If your child qualifies, he/she could have treatment at a significantly reduced cost.
