Summary

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease and a significant risk factor for tooth loss. While a link between diet and periodontal health exists, the relationship between diet and healing following periodontal therapy has yet to be investigated.The objective of this study was to determine if higher intakes of foods and nutrients with antioxidant or anti-inflammatory activity are associated with reduced probing depth following sanative therapy. Sanative therapy is a first line cost-effective treatment to manage periodontal disease and thus prevent tooth loss. Patients with chronic generalized periodontitis undergoing sanative therapy were recruited for the study. Mean probing depth was assessed at baseline and 8-16 weeks following sanative therapy. Dietary intakes of fruits, vegetables, vitamins and dietary fats were estimated using the Block 2005 food frequency questionnaire and supplement use was recorded using a questionnaire. A small venous blood sample was also collected at baseline to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations.
