First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study from Cairo University looked at whether people with multiple sclerosis (MS) are more likely to have gum disease. Researchers examined 293 Egyptian adults with MS using standard dental check-ups. The goal was to see if there is a link between MS and periodontal disease, but this was an observational study, not a treatment trial.
