Introduction: Gingivitis is a reversible form of periodontal disease in which the inflammation is limited to the gingiva and no other supporting tissues are destroyed. Omega-3 PUFA has the most effective immune modulatory properties of all the fatty acids. Few studies have investigated topical usage of omega 3 poly unsaturated fatty acid in the treatment of gingivitis. Aim of the study: The present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid on ligature induced gingivitis in rats through the immunological analysis for rat’s gingival tissue level of IL-1β. Materials and methods: The gingivitis was induced for rats by ligation around lower central incisors. Fifty animals with the induced gingivitis were divided into: Five animals were sacrificed at the first day after remo.. Read More»
