Omega\u20103 (\u03c9\u20103) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), were shown to have therapeutic anti\u2010inflammatory and protective actions in inflammatory diseases including periodontitis. The goal of this study was to test an innovative strategy for periodontal treatment in a clinical experiment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Eighty healthy subjects (40 in each group) with advanced chronic periodontitis were enrolled in Mansoura, Egypt, in a parallel\u2010design, double\u2010masked clinical study. The control group was treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) and a placebo, whereas the \u03c9\u20103 group was treated with SRP followed by dietary supplementation of fish oil (900 mg EPA + DHA) and 81 mg aspirin daily. Saliva samples were obtained from all patients at baseline and 3 and 6 months for evaluation of receptor activator of nuclear factor\u2010kappa B ligand (RANKL) and matrix metalloproteinase\u20108 (MMP\u20108). Plaque and gingival indices, bleeding on probing, probing depths, and attachment levels were recorded at the same time points.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Statistical analyses demonstrated a significant reduction in probing depths and a significant attachment gain after 3 and 6 months in the \u03c9\u20103 group compared to baseline and the control group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.05). Salivary RANKL and MMP\u20108 levels showed significant reductions in the \u03c9\u20103 group in response to treatment at 3 and 6 months and compared to the control group at 6 months (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.01). Supplementation with \u03c9\u20103 + aspirin resulted in a significant shift in the frequency of pockets with probing depths &lt;4 mm (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The results of this preliminary clinical study suggest that dietary supplementation with \u03c9\u20103 PUFAs and 81 mg aspirin may provide a sustainable, low\u2010cost intervention to augment periodontal
