Smoking and gum disease team up to damage your cells
NCT ID NCT07279896
Summary
This study aimed to understand how smoking and a serious form of gum disease (Stage III periodontitis) might cause damage to the body's cells. Researchers measured signs of DNA and RNA damage in the saliva of 88 adults, including smokers and non-smokers with and without gum disease. They found that people with gum disease had more cell damage, and the damage was highest in those who both smoked and had gum disease.
