Gum bacteria linked to stomach troubles? small study investigates
NCT ID NCT07378540
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study examined the mouth bacteria of 30 people, some with gastritis (stomach inflammation) and some without, to see if gum disease and stomach issues are connected. Researchers collected saliva samples and used advanced DNA technology to compare the types and amounts of bacteria. The goal was to understand if people with gastritis have a different oral microbiome, which could help explain links between oral and digestive health.
