Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of "Host modulatory therapy" (HMT) using ω-3 fatty acids alongside non-surgical periodontal therapy (SRP) to reduce inflammation and improve treatment outcomes for periodontal disease.
- - A systematic review of randomized controlled trials found that ω-3 fatty acids led to significant improvements, specifically a 0.39 mm reduction in probing pocket depth (PPD) and a 0.41 mm gain in clinical attachment level (CAL) compared to SRP alone.
- - The findings suggest that dietary ω-3 fatty acid supplementation can enhance the effectiveness of SRP in patients with periodontitis, albeit with moderate evidence to support this recommendation.
