Could a deep dental cleaning help save your memory?

NCT ID NCT03755362

Summary

This study tested whether intensive treatment for gum disease could help slow memory decline in older adults who already have mild memory problems and a narrowing of the neck arteries. Researchers compared a deep cleaning treatment to standard care to see if reducing mouth inflammation could protect brain function. The trial was terminated early and enrolled 26 participants.
