Trial Outcomes & Findings for Omega-3 Fatty Acids Plus Low-dose Aspirin Daily Supplementation in Surgical Therapy to Treat Aggressive Periodontitis (NCT NCT03093207)

NCT ID: NCT03093207

Last Updated: 2020-11-17

Results Overview

Evaluate the difference between baseline and 6 months CAL measures. CAL: distance from bottom of sulcus/pocket to the cement-enamel junction (CEJ). The CEJ will be identified by careful probe on cervical area.
