The aim of this NIH National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) funded study is to identify molecular mechanisms underlying observed variations in human responses to natural accumulation and maturation of dental plaque.
This study will employ the split-mouth Experimental Gingivitis model where healthy study participants are asked to abstain from oral hygiene on a select set of teeth (test teeth) for a period of 21 days. The study consists of 3 phases; Hygiene Phase (Day -14-0), Experimental Induction Phase (Day 0-21), and Resolution Phase (Day 21-35). Abstaining from oral hygiene on the test teeth will result in the natural accumulation and maturation of dental plaque (a bacterial biofilm) on the tooth surface which will in induce a host inflammatory response. By investigating the onset of microbially induced…
