Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Low-Dose Aspirin in the Treatment of Periodontitis and Metabolic Syndrome: Case Report
Abstract
AIMS: To investigate the use of ω-3 fatty acids and low-dose aspirin as adjuncts to periodontal debridement in a patient with periodontitis and metabolic syndrome.
METHODS: Periodontal and systemic parameters were assessed at baseline and 6 months. Gingival crevicular fluid was analyzed for interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and interferon (IFN)-γ levels by multiplex ELISA at baseline, 3 and 6 months.
RESULTS: The treatment was effective in reducing probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing and plaque index, and glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides IL-1β, IL-6 and IFN-γ levels over time.
CONCLUSIONS: The adjunctive use of ω-3 and low-dose aspirin to periodontal debridement might have potential benefits in the treatment of periodontitis in a patient with metabolic syndrome.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
