Gum treatment showdown: which method is safest for your whole body?
NCT ID NCT07077122
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares five different non-surgical treatments for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) to see how they affect inflammation throughout the body and the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream. Researchers will measure blood markers like C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 before and after treatment in 75 adults. The goal is to identify which treatment approach causes the least immediate systemic burden, helping improve safety and outcomes for patients.
