Dentist's deep clean may delay dialysis for kidney patients
NCT ID NCT07635797
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a deep dental cleaning (subgingival instrumentation) can slow the progression of chronic kidney disease in 40 adults with diabetes and stage IV-V kidney disease. The cleaning aims to reduce inflammation that may worsen kidney function. Researchers will measure kidney function and blood markers over time to see if the treatment delays the need for dialysis.
