Brief summary

Lack of certain nutrients and foods may negatively affect oral health. Therefore, nutrition plays an important role in maintaining oral health. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the nutrient intakes, consumption of food groups and some fermented foods of individuals with periodontal disease and health. Ninety-three patients who applied to Periodontology Clinic were divided into three groups: periodontal health, gingivitis and periodontitis. In addition, plaque, gingival indices, bleeding on probing, periodontal pocket depth, and clinical attachment level were evaluated. To determine individuals' daily energy and nutrient intakes and the consumption amounts of food groups, food consumption records were kept by the nutritionist for three consecutive days, with one of them was weekend, using the 24-hour recall method. Data on individuals' frequency and amount of consumption of some fermented products were recorded, considering the foods available in our culture and the market.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
bleeding on probingbaselineTo test for bleeding after probing, the probe is carefully introduced to the bottom of the pocket and gently moved laterally along the pocket wall. + is maximum and - is minimum.
periodontal pocket depthbaselinephysical methods to measure the distance from the bottom of a pocket to a reference line, usually the gingival margin or the cemento-enamel junction.
Frequency of consumption of fermented foodsbaselinethe frequency of fermented foods is measured. The foods questioned were evaluated using a 7-point Likert-type frequency form (every day, 3-4 per week, 1-2 per week, 2 per month, 1 per month, never). In addition, the amounts of foods consumed each time were recorded, and the daily consumption amounts were obtained by dividing them by the frequency of consumption.
food consumption record1 or 3 daysOne or three days of consumption is recorded

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
gingival indexbaselineThe Gingival Index (GI) scores each site on a 0 to 3 scale, with 0 being normal and 3 being severe inflammation characterized by edema, redness, swelling, and spontaneous bleeding. 0 is minimum and 3 is maximum. The situation worsens as the score increases.
clinical attachment levelbaselineThe clinical attachment level (CAL) and radiographically assessed bone levels are used to assess the loss of periodontal tissue support in periodontitis, a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disease of the periodontium.
plaque indexbaselinean index for estimating the status of oral hygiene by measuring dental plaque that occurs in the areas adjacent to the gingival margin. 0 is minimum and 3 is maximum. The situation worsens as the score increases.
