NCT ID NCT07311512
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how standard gum disease treatments—deep cleaning with or without a special mouthwash—change proteins in your saliva and affect blood vessel health. Researchers will study 30 adults with gum disease to see if these treatments help or harm the good bacteria that support heart health. The goal is to understand how taking care of your gums might also protect your heart.
