Summary
This completed observational study looked at 61 people with peripheral artery disease to see if their gum health was linked to levels of a substance called TMAO in their blood and saliva. Researchers compared TMAO levels among those with healthy gums, gum disease, or no teeth. The goal was to understand if oral health might play a role in heart-related conditions.
