The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) \[omega-3\] as an adjunctive treatment to scaling and root planing for menopausal women with periodontitis versus scaling and root alone as a non- surgical treatment . . The main question it aims to answer is: • to investigate the effect of systemic administration of Omega-3 fatty acids in addition to SRP on clinical periodontal parameters and GCF levels of osteocalcin and AST in menopausal women. Participants will given \* a soft gelatin capsules containing PUFAs to be consumed directly once daily for 12 months along with non-surgical treatment (group2) \*\* a soft gelatin capsules containing olive oil to be consumed directly once daily for 12 months along with non-surgical treatment (group1) Researchers will compare group 1 to group 2 to see if PUFAs has an effect on clinical periodontal parameters and GCF levels of osteocalcin and AST in menopausal women. .
