Caffeine Intake and Periodontal Treatment Outcomes

14 de agosto de 2026 actualizado por: Haoran Feng

Effects of Dietary Caffeine Intake on Periodontal Treatment Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study will explore whether caffeine intake can affect recovery after periodontal (gum) treatment.

Periodontitis is a common gum disease caused by bacteria. Even after treatment, some people may still have ongoing inflammation or changes in oral bacteria. Researchers want to know if daily caffeine intake, such as from coffee, may help improve this condition.

In this study, about 90 adults with periodontitis will receive standard periodontal treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: no caffeine intake, low caffeine intake, or moderate caffeine intake. They will follow these instructions for about 6 months.

Researchers will collect saliva samples and check gum health at several time points after treatment. Saliva will be used to measure inflammation markers and to study changes in oral bacteria. Researchers will also record clinical gum conditions, such as gum pocket depth and bleeding.

The goal of this study is to understand whether caffeine intake can help reduce inflammation, improve oral bacteria balance, and support recovery after periodontal treatment. The results may help provide simple dietary advice to improve long-term gum health.

Descripción detallada

This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effects of dietary caffeine intake on periodontal treatment outcomes and potential biological mechanisms.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with microbial imbalance and increased inflammatory activity. Although standard periodontal treatment can control disease progression, some individuals may continue to experience persistent inflammation during the maintenance phase.

Approximately 90 adults with periodontitis will be recruited and will receive standard non-surgical periodontal treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups according to caffeine intake: no intake, low intake, and moderate intake.

Participants will be followed for 6 months. Saliva samples will be collected at baseline and multiple follow-up time points. These samples will be used to assess inflammatory biomarkers and oral microbiome characteristics. Clinical periodontal parameters will also be recorded during follow-up.

This study aims to evaluate whether dietary caffeine intake influences inflammatory responses, oral microbiome characteristics, and clinical periodontal outcomes after periodontal treatment. The findings may provide evidence for incorporating dietary factors into periodontal disease management.
