Gum trouble may throw off your Body's internal clock
NCT ID NCT07452783
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether gum inflammation (gingivitis or periodontitis) disrupts the natural 24-hour body clock in gum tissue. Researchers collected small gum samples from 60 healthy adults with similar sleep patterns and measured clock-related genes and proteins. The goal was to see if inflamed gums have altered clock activity, which could help explain links between gum disease and overall health.
