Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review updates the current knowledge on nutrient supplements, which are reported as effective in maintaining the health of periodontal tissues or preventing diseases, as a complementary therapy to existing periodontal treatments.

Recent Findings

The latest meta-analysis reported that green tea component might be used as a complementary method to existing periodontal treatments. New multifunctional food-derived components such as rice- and soybean-derived proteins and amino acids have also been reported recently.

Summary

Several previous reports describe that nutritional supplements may help bacterial control and host immune regulation based on cellular or animal experiments, but evidence regarding most nutritional supplements is still insufficient to apply for prevention or treatment of periodontal disease. Complementary use of green tea extract, including catechin, potentially controlling the symptoms of periodontal disease combined with existing therapies could be beneficial, although randomized clinical trials and larger cohort studies are required properly.
