The study investigates the link between periodontitis and Parkinson's disease, focusing on neuroinflammation's role in both conditions.
Researchers analyzed clinical data and biological samples from patients with Parkinson's and healthy individuals to evaluate the presence of periodontal pathogens and inflammatory markers.
Results showed significant associations between the severity of Parkinson's and the levels of inflammatory substances, suggesting that oral health may influence cognitive and motor functions in Parkinson's patients.
