NCT ID NCT06978712
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether deep dental cleaning (subgingival instrumentation) can reduce 'allostatic load' — the wear and tear stress puts on the body. Researchers will treat 112 adults aged 30-50 with gum disease and measure inflammation, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels before and after treatment. The goal is to see if fixing gum problems can improve overall health.
