What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating how anti-inflammatory nutrition affects the results of non-surgical periodontal treatment in people with periodontitis. The study focuses on measuring changes in gingival crevicular fluid and blood markers related to inflammation, as well as clinical signs of periodontal health. This research aims to understand whether anti-inflammatory dietary education can reduce gum inflammation and improve treatment outcomes. The study involves 100 volunteers with a pro-inflammatory diet, divided into four groups based on diet inflammation level and whether they receive anti-inflammatory nutrition education. All participants receive non-surgical periodontal treatment. Two groups with moderate and high pro-inflammatory diets will receive additional education about anti-inflammatory nutrition. Samples and clinical measurements will be taken at the start, 1.5 months, and 3 months after treatment to assess various inflammatory markers and periodontal health. Participants will undergo periodontal exams and provide gingival fluid and blood samples three times during the study. Researchers will measure pocket depth, attachment loss, and levels of inflammatory proteins such as interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, and C-reactive protein. Dietary inflammation scores will also be recorded. The study will monitor changes over three months to evaluate the effects of nutrition education combined with periodontal care. The total participation duration is about three months after initial treatment.
