Summary

This study tests whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment in obese adults with severe periodontitis. The diet is given in three 5-day cycles around the treatment. Researchers will measure inflammation and gum healing to see if this approach helps control the disease better than usual care alone.
