Smokers' gum healing linked to missing saliva protein
NCT ID NCT07367737
First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looks at 50 people with gum disease—25 smokers and 25 non-smokers—to see how smoking affects a protein in saliva called histatin-1, which helps healing. Researchers measure gum health and protein levels before and up to three months after standard non-surgical gum treatment. The goal is to understand why smokers heal more slowly, not to test a new treatment.
