Could cleaning your teeth slow Alzheimer's?
NCT ID NCT07233512
Summary
This study is testing whether treating severe gum disease can slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers believe gum disease causes body-wide inflammation that may worsen Alzheimer's. The trial will enroll 70 people who have both conditions, giving half immediate gum treatment and half delayed treatment, then comparing their cognitive changes over two years.
