Description
Summary:The role of nutrition in managing periodontal diseases is a dynamic and evolving area of study. This review presents an in-depth analysis of various nutritional elements, including essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins (D, E, and C), coenzyme Q10, melatonin, and probiotics, and their impact on periodontal health. It synthesizes findings from randomized clinical trials and observational studies to highlight the multifaceted influence of these nutrients on periodontal disease management. Key areas of focus include their role in reducing inflammation, altering the composition of the oral microbiota, and enhancing tissue repair and bone health. The review consistently points to the potential benefits of these nutrients, either as standalone agents or in conjunction with standard periodontal treatments, offering valuable insights for both clinicians and researchers. It advocates for a more nutritionally informed approach to periodontal disease management, emphasizing the importance of a well-rounded, preventive, and therapeutic strategy in dental health.
