What this trial studies
This study investigates the relationship between dietary biodiversity, particularly focusing on plant proteins, and oral health outcomes, specifically oral microbiota and periodontal diseases. Participants will follow an einkorn diet and attend culinary workshops to promote the consumption of a diverse range of plant-based foods. The study aims to address nutritional deficiencies in the French population while assessing the impact of diet on oral health. By examining changes in oral microbiota and periodontal health status, the research seeks to provide insights into the role of diet in maintaining oral health.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 20 to 60 with an omnivorous diet who can participate in culinary workshops.
Not a fit: Patients with chronic pathologies, food allergies, or those unable to consume solid foods may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved dietary recommendations that enhance oral health and overall well-being.
How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research into the effects of diet on health, this specific approach focusing on biodiversity and oral health is relatively novel.
