Relevance. Periodontal disease is a widespread oral pathology that affects the supporting tissues of the tooth. Drug and surgical treatment do not always provide stable results without correcting lifestyle factors, among which nutrition plays a central role. Objective – to assess the possibility of increasing the effectiveness of periodontal disease treatment through targeted dietary changes and to develop specific nutritional recommendations. Materials and methods. An analysis of open data on the influence of macro- and micronutrients on the condition of the periodontium was carried out, using a method of comparative assessment of clinical outcomes under different dietary patterns. Results. It has been shown that increasing the proportion of plant fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins and probiotics in the diet helps reduce the depth of periodontal pockets, decrease gum bleeding and slow down bone resorption. Conclusion. The introduction of evidence-based diet therapy into the comprehensive management of patients with periodontal disease can increase treatment effectiveness by at least 30% and reduce the frequency of relapses.
