Dietary Intakes and Periodontal Health: A Follow-Up Study

NCT03073174 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 43

Last updated 2018-05-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A previous study, on which this study is based, found that a diet higher in fruits and vegetables, beta-carotene, vitamin C, alpha-tocopherol, and fish oils (specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) was positively associated with periodontal healing after sanative therapy (NCT02291835). The investigator's next step, in the present study, is to determine long-term benefits of sanative therapy in which patients have regular maintenance hygiene cleanings on periodontal health. Specifically, the relationship between intakes of specific foods, nutrients and supplements with clinical periodontal outcomes will be studied.
