The aim of the present study is to test if a fasting mimicking diet (FMD) can influence the systemic and periodontal response following non-surgical periodontal therapy. The null hypothesis is that a FMD does not modify the local and systemic inflammatory post-treatment response. The test group will have periodontal treatment followed by fasting mimicking diet while the control group will have the same periodontal treatment and continue with their normal diet. Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) will be recorded.Blood and GCF samples will be taken.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) will be used to determine biochemical parameters in the biological samples.
