First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looked at whether gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) changes how the body's natural clock works in gum tissue. Researchers studied 60 healthy adults with similar sleep patterns. They collected small gum tissue samples and measured clock-related genes and proteins. The goal was to see if inflammation from gum disease can disturb the body's local timekeeping.
