Summary
This study tests whether a manuka honey mouthwash can improve gum health in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis and also have gum disease. About 150 adults will rinse with a diluted honey solution three times daily. Researchers will measure gum attachment, bleeding, plaque, and a marker of inflammation. The goal is to find a simple, natural way to manage gum problems in this high-risk group.
