Oral microbiome and serological analyses on association of Alzheimer's disease and periodontitis

This study aims to investigate the association between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and periodontitis by analyzing periodontal status, serological markers, and the oral microbiome composition in AD patients and healthy controls. The goal is to understand how periodontal infection and alterations in the oral microbiome may contribute to AD pathogenesis. This research is relevant as it explores the potential link between oral health and neurodegenerative diseases, which could lead to new preventive and therapeutic strategies for AD.
