Medical Conditions


This information is provided directly by researchers and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information.


This study will investigate whether there are biological changes to immune responses associated with deprivation, which are potentially associated with myriad diseases. Understanding how the immune response in the oral cavity evolves will inform timing for potential future intervention (for example application of antimicrobials or probiotics to the dentition). For this investigation, we have chosen to assess salivary immune response and oral bacteria prior to natural colonization of the oral cavity by mutans streptococci (the ‘window of infectivity,’ aged 18-30 months); and assess these parameters again at 36 months, post ‘window of infectivity.’

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
