Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Cavities
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the effects of human breast milk on the formation of dental plaque and cavities. Dental plaque is a sticky film that forms on teeth and can lead to cavities if not properly managed. The study is conducted in a laboratory setting using samples of human breast milk to observe its potential impact on plaque development.

The study involves collecting and analyzing human breast milk samples in a controlled lab environment. Researchers will examine how these samples interact with dental surfaces and contribute to the formation of plaque. The procedures are designed to replicate conditions that could lead to cavity formation, providing insights into the relationship between breast milk and dental health.

  • Who can participate: There are no specific eligibility criteria for this study.
  • Study details: Participants will provide samples of human breast milk for laboratory analysis. The study will not involve any direct contact with participants beyond sample collection.
