Effect of Black Raspberry Phytochemicals on Oral Microbiome in Current Smokers and Non-smokers

Category Primary study
Registry of TrialsClinicalTrials.gov
Year 2015
This randomized clinical trial studies the effects of black raspberry compounds (phytochemicals) on the bacteria in the mouth (oral microbiome) of current smokers and non-smokers. The oral microbiome protects the body from pathogenic bacteria. Smoking alters the oral microbiome and may increase the susceptibility to cancer by modulating normal host-bacteria interactions. Black raspberry phytochemicals may protect the oral microbiome of smokers and may lower their risk of developing oral cancer.
