Abstract
KAUR and COLLEAGUES, 1. Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, Dr. D.Y. Patil Dental College and Hospital, Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, Maharashtra, India; 2. Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, Dr. D.Y. Patil Dental College and Hospital, Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, Maharashtra, India rkathariya@gmail.com reviewed dietary antioxidants that can make a notable difference and enhance the outcomes of conventional periodontal therapy by striking a balance between oral health and periodontitis disease.
Background
Periodontitis is an increasing area of interest due to its global prevalence. This inflammatory condition results due to the loss of the critical balance between the virulence factors produced by microorganisms and the inflammatory host response. A number of efforts have been made in the past to address this condition and regain periodontal health.
Methodology
Targeting the root cause by nonsurgical debridement has been considered the gold standard. However, research has shown the possible effects of nutrient deficiency and an imbalanced diet on the periodontium.
Results
Therefore, an effort toward the maintenance of optimal conditions as well as improvement of the oral health necessities the introduction of adjunctive nutritional therapy, which can benefit the patients. Antioxidants in the diet have some remarkable benefits and valuable properties that play an irreplaceable role in the maintenance of periodontal health. These have emerged as excellent adjuncts that can enhance the outcomes of conventional periodontal therapy.
Conclusion
The aim of this review article is to highlight some of these dietary antioxidants that can make a notable difference by striking a balance between health and disease.

Comment
The above research suggests that antioxidants may act as an effective adjunctive therapy alongside conventional periodontal therapy treatment.
