Grinding your teeth? stress and poor sleep may worsen gum disease
NCT ID NCT07615153
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how stress levels, sleep quality, and teeth grinding (bruxism) together affect gum disease in adults aged 30-45. Researchers will compare two groups of people with gum disease: those who grind their teeth and those who do not. The goal is to understand how these factors combine to worsen gum health, which could lead to better treatment plans.
