Could a hidden tooth infection harm your heart?
NCT ID NCT07292363
Summary
This study aimed to understand if a chronic infection at the root of a tooth could affect the health of blood vessels. Researchers compared blood markers in 45 healthy adults, some with this tooth infection and some without, before and after standard dental treatment. The goal was to see if treating the tooth infection could reduce signs of inflammation that might weaken blood vessels.
