Anti-inflammatory Nutrition on the Outcomes of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy

This study aimed to determine the effect of anti-inflammatory nutrition on non-surgical periodontal treatment in individuals with periodontitis by evaluating gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum biomarkers and clinical periodontal parameters.

A total of 100 volunteers identified as having a pro-inflammatory diet (Q3 and Q4) will be included in the study. Individuals will be assigned to two groups. These groups will then be further divided into two groups based on whether or not they will receive anti-inflammatory nutrition education. Group Q3-1 (n=25) will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment and anti-inflammatory nutrition education. Group Q3-2 (n=25) will receive only non-surgical periodontal treatment. Group Q4-1 (n=25) will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment and anti-inflammatory nutrition education. Group Q4-2 (n=25) will receive only non-surgical periodontal treatment. After the periodontal index measurements are completed, the patients will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment. GCF and serum samples, periodontal clinical parameters and Dietary Inflammatory Index will be collected 3 times: at baseline, 1.5 and 3 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment. Levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and C-reactive protein (CRP) will be assessed from these samples. This will investigate the role of anti-inflammatory nutrition in reducing periodontal inflammation and increasing treatment success.
