Hidden link? HS patients may face higher gum disease risk
NCT ID NCT07294456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study checked the gum health of 226 adults with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a chronic skin condition causing painful lumps. Researchers measured gum pockets, bleeding, and plaque, and compared them to healthy people. The goal was to see if HS inflammation might also affect the gums, possibly leading to better screening and care.
