Summary

Periodontitis is a biofilm-mediated chronic inflammatory disease which causes the destruction of the supporting tissues of the tooth. Risk factors for periodontitis include familiarity for periodontal diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, obesity and stress. Some studies demonstrated how these risk factors negatively influence the patients' response to non-surgical periodontal treatment. The success of non-surgical periodontal therapy is defined through the treat-to-target concept (i.e. a maximum of 4 sites with Probing Pocket Depth \>5mm and presence of Bleeding on Probing); therefore, periodontal treatment is successful whenever this threshold is reached. Moreover, given the available data regarding the association between more severe forms of periodontitis and a lower frequency of physical activity, a worse sleep quality and more perceived stress, it is reasonable to hypothesize that these factors could influence the patients' response to non-surgical periodontal treatment. With regards to diet, despite many studies appraised the anti-inflammatory effect of the mediterranean diet, no study has ever related adherence to Mediterranean Diet to oral health status. The novelty that the present study would introduce is the evaluation of how environmental factors (i.e. diet, physical exercise, perceived stress) influence patients' response to non-surgical periodontal therapy.
