The impact of gingivitis reduction on lung function: a randomized trial under intensified oral hygiene

It is novel to include non-smoking subjects with mild and potentially reversible oral inflammation. Furthermore, this research is innovative, because it includes evidence-based interventions for gingivitis reduction, standardized measures of the outcome on lung function and oral microbiome and combines expertise from dentistry, lung physiology, oral microbiology and epidemiology/statistical modelling.Trial registrationGerman Clinical Trial R...
