Anti-inflammatory diet plus non-surgical gum treatment
Evaluation of the Effects of Anti-inflammatory Nutrition on the Outcomes of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy in Individuals With Periodontitis
This research will test whether adding anti-inflammatory nutrition education to routine non-surgical periodontal therapy helps people with periodontitis who eat a pro-inflammatory diet.

What this trial studies
One hundred adults with a pro-inflammatory dietary index (upper two quartiles) will be enrolled and divided into four groups based on dietary quartile and whether they receive nutrition education. All participants will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment, while half will also receive anti-inflammatory nutrition education. Outcomes include clinical periodontal parameters and biomarker measurements from gingival crevicular fluid and serum collected at baseline and follow-up. Group comparisons will be used to see whether the nutrition education is associated with differences in clinical or inflammatory measures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults diagnosed with periodontitis who are systemically healthy, non-smokers, not pregnant or lactating, have at least 20 teeth, a dietary inflammatory index > 0, and no recent antibiotics, corticosteroids, or anti-inflammatory drug use are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People with systemic diseases, active smokers, pregnant or lactating individuals, those with fewer than 20 teeth, or those without a pro-inflammatory diet are unlikely to benefit from this specific intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, combining anti-inflammatory nutrition education with standard non-surgical periodontal care could lower local and systemic inflammation and improve periodontal health.
How similar studies have performed: Some prior research suggests anti-inflammatory diets and nutritional counseling can modestly reduce systemic inflammation and improve periodontal measures, but high-quality trials combining dietary education with periodontal therapy remain limited.
