First seen May 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a deep cleaning procedure called sub-gingival instrumentation can reduce allostatic load—the wear and tear on the body from chronic stress—in people with gum disease. Researchers will measure inflammation, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels in 112 adults aged 30-50. The goal is to see if treating gum disease has benefits beyond the mouth.
