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.
