NCT ID NCT07705672

First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether replacing missing teeth with fixed dental prosthetics can improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels in people with ischemic heart disease. Participants aged 45 to 70 with stable heart disease and missing teeth receive the dental treatment. Researchers measure changes in HbA1c and cholesterol six months later to see if better chewing ability leads to better metabolic control.

What this could lead to
