Scientists probe epigenetic link between obesity and gum inflammation
NCT ID NCT07610902
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how obesity changes the way genes work in people with gum disease. Researchers will compare obese and non-obese adults before and after a deep cleaning treatment. They aim to understand why obese individuals may have worse gum inflammation and how it might be linked to long-term changes in the body's epigenetics.
