Gum treatment and kidney health in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether non-surgical gum treatment can help improve kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and gum disease. If you have both conditions and your kidneys are still working well, this treatment may help prevent further kidney damage.
