Masticatory Performance in Adults with Periodontitis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study follows adults with periodontitis for one year at CHU Clermont-Ferrand. Participants will chew a piece of gum for 20 cycles, and the resulting gum samples will be analyzed to measure masticatory performance. The goal is to see if periodontal severity relates to changes in chewing ability and to identify specific periodontal factors that might influence masticatory performance. Data will be collected and analyzed to explore these relationships in a real-world clinical setting.
