Description
Giuseppe Mainas and co-authors ran a small 2026 pilot trial on diet and gum care. People with gum disease got standard deep cleaning of the teeth. One group also did three five-day rounds of a low-food diet plan that mimics fasting. Blood and gum fluid were checked over six months.
Twenty-seven people finished the trial, and the plan proved safe and workable. A blood marker of swelling rose on day one in both groups, then fell. Later checks hinted at lower marks in the diet group. The team calls for a larger trial to test if the diet truly helps gums heal.
