Summary
This study looked at whether deep cleaning of the gums (called intensive periodontal therapy) can improve not just oral health but also markers of heart disease and diabetes. About 200 adults with heart disease or type 2 diabetes received either the gum treatment or standard care. Researchers measured changes in gum health and linked them to changes in blood sugar and blood vessel function. The goal was to understand connections between oral and overall health.
