Combination of exercise and omega-3 reduces the severity of tooth root infections, suggests study
Publicado em 13 junho 2025A study published in the journal Scientific Reports indicates that physical exercise combined with omega-3 supplementation considerably improves the immune response and reduces the severity of chronic apical periodontitis. Inflammation at the apex of the tooth – the tip of the root – and in the surrounding area is primarily caused by caries. If left untreated, the bacteria can reach the root canal and pass through it to the apex, causing apical periodontitis. This condition leads [...]Medical Dialogues (Índia) -
