Summary

This study tests if adding a special light therapy (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to standard deep cleaning improves gum health in people with both gum disease and obesity. Twenty-four adults with obesity and moderate to severe gum disease will receive either standard cleaning alone or cleaning plus light therapy. Researchers will check gum health and measure inflammation markers over six months to see if the light therapy provides extra benefit.
