Lactobacillus Reuteri Strains for Gingivitis Reduction

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential beneficial effects in volunteer young adults of orally administered L. reuteri (DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289) on gingival inflammation. The null hypothesis was that no difference would be manifested by probiotic therapy regarding the conventional mechanical treatment (without probiotic administration).

Clinical Trial Description

Aim. To investigate the potential beneficial effects in volunteer young adults of orally daily administered L. reuteri (DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289) on gingival inflammation. The null hypothesis was that no difference would be manifested by probiotic therapy regarding the conventional mechanical treatment (without probiotic administration). Methods. A randomized controlled parallel clinical trial was conducted in sixty young adults (18-35 yrs old) with chronic marginal gingivitis for one month. Initially, both study groups underwent conventional mechanical periodontal therapy/oral anti-plaque hygiene. However, the experimental group additionally received the administration of two daily tablets, containing both L. reuteri strains, for 30 days, while the control group did not. Different clinical outcome variables (plaque (PI) and gingival (GI) indices, bleeding on probing (BOP), and crevicular fluid volume (CFV)) were recorded and compared between the study groups, both at baseline and at the end of the interventions, 30 days later. Statistical descriptive and inferential tests were performed (data distribution normality, Student's t, and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests). ;
