Background/Objectives: Despite the increasing popularity of lacto-ovo vegetarian (LOV) diets, their impact on oral wound healing remains underexplored. The aim this study was to evaluate potential influence LOV diet soft tissue following lower wisdom tooth operation. Methods: This prospective involved 40 participants equally divided into two groups: group (lacto-ovo vegetarians for at least seven years) and control (general diet). main inclusion criterion need third molar extraction, while smoking, pregnancy, systemic diseases that may compromise were disqualifying factors. Parameters such as length, swelling, pain, analgesic use, bacterial plaque index assessed 3rd 7th days post-surgery. Results: exhibited significantly faster healing, with reduced length swelling by day compared group. Pain levels consumption also in end observation period. Although had higher trismus day, it normalized day. These outcomes be, apart type followed, partially attributed younger age shorter surgical time observed Conclusions: findings highlight role dietary interventions optimizing recovery, warranting further research confirm these benefits broader populations.

However, despite these benefits, concerns remain regarding impact on neurological due to the possible deficiencies critical nutrients vitamin B12, DHA, EPA, iron. This review critically evaluates influence dietary patterns outcomes, emphasizing nutritional composition, deficiencies, interplay A systematic literature published between 2010 2023 was conducted, focusing studies that explore relationship health. Key omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc were analyzed alongside antinutritional factors effects nervous system. Evidence suggests diets, when well planned, can be (IL-6). findings indicate role reducing stress, both linked neurodegenerative diseases. iron consistently an increased risk cognitive decline, mood disturbances, disorders. Additionally, presence like phytates oxalates may further impair nutrient absorption, necessitating careful planning supplementation.
