Summary

This study aims to investigate whether obesity affects oral and gum health in children and adolescents. A total of 75 children aged 8 to 13 years participated, including both obese and non-obese individuals. All participants received a dental examination, and samples of saliva, blood, and gum fluid were collected to measure specific inflammation-related substances (such as IL-1α, IL-1β, and leptin). The presence of specific bacteria in the mouth was also analyzed.
