The Application of a Fasting- Mimicking Diet in Periodontitis: A Feasibility Study

Test group will be assigned to follow one cycle of a fasting mimicking diet the same day after receiving the full mouth non surgical periodontal treatment. The FMD program is a plant-based diet program designed to attain fasting-like effects while providing both macro- and micronutrients to minimize the burden of fasting and adverse effects. The FMD consist 5 days regimen that provides approximately 1.100 kilocalories for the first day ; approximately 750 kilocalories per day for the second to the fifth day. FMD group will need 5 visits.

Normal diet (control) group after receiving the non surgical periodontal treatment (with periodontal Gracey curettes and ultrasonic scaler) will continue with their current diet.Normal diet group will need 5 visits.
