Summary
This study tested a special food-grade formula applied to the gums in 20 adults with chronic gum disease. Researchers observed that gum redness and bleeding improved within 7 to 14 days. The approach aims to repair gum tissue without surgery, but larger and more rigorous studies are needed to confirm these early results.
