We conclude that omega-3 fatty acids may be associated with lower inflammatory biomarkers among diabetic and cardiovascular patients .
The purpose of this systematic review and meta- analysis was to investigate omega-3 fatty acids ’ influence on 12 inflammatory biomarkers — LDL , HDL , total cholesterol , TG , HbA1c , Apo AI , Apo AII , Apo B , CRP , TNF-α , glucose , and fasting blood glucose among diabetic and cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) patients .
A Comparison between Primary and Secondary Flap Coverage in Ridge Preservation Procedures: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Aims To assess the bone dimensional changes after  extraction and alveolar ridge preservation ( ARP ) using primary coverage ( closed flap technique , CFT ) or healing by secondary intention ( open flap technique , OFT ) . Material s and Methods Ten patients ( split mouth design ) were planned for extraction and ARP . All sites received ARP with freeze-dried bone allograft ( FDBA ) and nonresorbable membrane after extraction . Clinical st and ardized measurements were used to assess the dimensional alterations of the alveolar ridge . Results All patients completed the study , and a total of 20 sites were r and omized to CFT or OFT group . Center height ( mean difference of 8.1 mm , SD = 1.9 CFT , and 7.5 mm , SD= 1.8 OFT ) and buccal height ( mean difference of 0.8 mm , SD = 1.0 CFT , and 0.3 mm , SD= 1.1 OFT ) were significantly different within the same group . However , there was no statistically significant difference between groups . In the OFT group , the keratinized tissue width was higher and the pain VAS scores at 24 hours were lower compared with the CFT ( p = 0.004 and p = 0.006 , respectively ) . Conclusions Leaving the flap open did not have any effects on the dimensional changes of bone height or width . However , there was a wider b and of keratinized tissue and less pain with the CFT compared with the OFT . The study protocol was registered at Clinical Trials.gov , Identifier NCT03136913
