Periodontal diseases affect up to 90% of the population worldwide. Deficiencies in vitamins, minerals and polyphenolic compounds, whose main sources are fruit and vegetables (F&V), may predispose to these diseases. The PICO (Patient, Intervention of interest, Comparison or Control Intervention, and Outcome) question was: What is the effect of F&V intake on the outcomes of periodontal diseases, observed in either experimental or observational studies of human populations suffering from periodontitis or gingivitis, compared to controls without intervention or healthy people. The review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol for search strategy, selection criteria and data extraction. The searched databases included MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus and Google Scholar. A total of 181 potentially relevant articles were identified, which were then evaluated according to pre-specified criteria relating to relevance and quality. Finally, 15 articles were selected for review. Four articles described intervention studies, 3 reported on prospective and retrospective cohort studies, and 8 concerned cross-sectional studies. A total of 10,604 people aged 15-90 years took part in the studies. On the basis of the research it can be concluded that the consumption of at least 5 servings of F&V per day may prevent the progression of periodontal diseases, especially periodontitis, and even tooth loss. Moreover, incorporation of specific F&V into the diet or, alternatively, their lyophilized forms, and nutritional education activities seem to support the standard of care therapy of gingivitis and periodontitis. However, further observational and well-designed experimental studies, with homogeneous periodontal status outcomes, are needed to confirm these findings. Furthermore, professional dietetics care for periodontal patients should become an integral component of the healthcare program.

“…An analysis of the dietary practices showed that 26.5% of children with an upper SES, in comparison to 8.7% with a lower SES, consumed fruit twice a day or more (Table ), which could also contribute to poor gingival health in the latter. Consumption of fruit provides high dietary fiber for mechanical cleansing, removes residual food debris, provides phytochemicals and vitamins A, E, and C, improves periodontal health by providing antioxidants, and boosts immunity . The increased salivary flow during fruit consumption also provides secretory immunoglobulin A as a first line of defense, and restricts the formation of a biofilm …”

Aims The aims of the present study were to assess the prevalence and pattern of gingival bleeding on probing (BOP) and to evaluate the effect of oral health behavior and demographic determinants on gingival health in 11‐16‐year‐old school children in Chandigarh, India. Methods A cross‐sectional study, using stratified random sampling, was conducted across two age groups, 11‐13 years and 14‐16 years, and two socioeconomic strata: upper and lower. The World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Health Questionnaire for Children was used to record the data, and the WHO Community Periodontal Index (modified) was used to assess gingival BOP. Results Among all the 2294 children examined, an estimated 54.2% had gingival BOP. The odds of BOP were also higher in the younger age group (odds ratio [OR]: 1.261, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.068‐1.487, P = 0.006), higher for boys (OR: 1.200, 95% CI: 1.017‐1.416, P = 0.031), and lower in the upper strata (OR: 0.805, 95% CI: 0.682‐0.951, P = 0.011). Gingival BOP was 58.5% in the mandibular and 41.5% in the maxillary arch (P < 0.0001); χ2‐test found tooth cleaning frequency to be a significant contributing factor for gingival BOP (P = 0.014). Conclusions An inverse co‐relation of gingival BOP with age, socioeconomic status, and a higher prevalence in boys was observed, necessitating periodic preventive dental education, particularly focusing on the target group. Additionally, early screening and prompt treatment to intercept the disease is advocated.

“…3 However, physical activity and whole grain intake have been shown to predict PD independent of known risk factors of PD in prospective studies. [4][5][6] As physical activity and whole grain intake are not considered to be risk factors for PD, they were not measured or adjusted for in the observational studies evaluating the relationship between PD and ASVD. Unmeasured physical activity and whole grain intake can therefore link the two conditions even if PD does not really cause ASVD.…”
