France73 participantsStarted 2025-06-06

Plain-language summary

The goal of this study is to assess the oral health of males juveniles incarcerated at Fleury-Mérogis over a given period. The goal is also to understand the needs of these patients and improve their care in prison while raising awareness about oral health to achieve lasting results. Hypothesis: Incarcerated juveniles often grew up in precarious conditions. Is their DMFT (decayed, missing, filled permanent teeth) index higher than the "standard" juvenile population? Public interest: Understanding the needs of these juvenile patients, public health data. By comparing our results to those of the "standard" population (non-incarcerated minors) through a literature review regarding the DMFT index in these patients, we will determine whether incarcerated juvenile patients represent a population at risk of developing oral pathologies. Oral disease prevention for these patients to raise awareness of the importance of oral hygiene and follow-up dental appointments outside of the prison system. The earlier these patients are educated, the greater the chance they will develop better habits throughout their lives.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
