Deep gum cleaning to delay kidney failure in diabetes
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a deep cleaning of the gums (called subgingival instrumentation) can help slow down the progression of kidney failure in people who have both type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. If you have moderate gum disease, this treatment might help keep your kidneys working longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
