Periodontal Health Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus LGG and Bifidobacterium Lactis BB-12 on Gingival Health and Dental Plaque in Healthy Adolescents: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Some probiotics have been shown to have preventive effects on infectious diseases and allergies. Because their long-term enhancement of the immune responses of children, they have been recommended for infants in some countries. The most promising ones seem to be the combination of Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Probiotic microbes are mainly ingested orally and the gastrointestinal tract is thus the primary target organ for them. However, the mouth is the first part of the gastrointestinal tract. Most probiotics are in theory cariogenic, thus their effects on oral health should be known. Several probiotics decrease levels of salivary mutans streptococci (MS), but in other respects very little is known about their effects on the oral microbiota. Also effects of probiotics on dental plaque should be studied. This study aims to find out the effects of the combination of BB-12 and LGG, delivered with a lozenge (4 weeks, twice a day) with a mixture of them on the amount of plaque and gingival health

Primary | Gingival Health | The gingival Index of Loe and Silness (1963) was used to record all surfaces (buccal, lingual, mesial, distal) for index teeth (16, 12, 24, 36, 32, 44). Gingival pockets were gently touched with a periodontal probe and possible bleeding was registered. The criteria are: 0 = no inflammation = mild inflammation, slight change in color, slight edema, no bleeding on probing = moderate inflammation, moderate glazing, redness, bleeding on probing = severe inflammation, marked redness and hypertrophy, ulceration, tendency to spontaneous bleeding The GI of the tooth was determined by adding the scores of the four surfaces and divided the total by four. The GI of the individual was obtained by adding the values of each tooth and dividing by the number of teeth examined A score from 0.1-1.0 = mild inflammation; 1.1-2.0 = moderate inflammation, and 2.1-3.0 = severe inflammation |
Four weeks | No |
Primary | Plaque Index | A modified Quickley-Hein plaque index (PI) was used to record the buccal and lingual surfaces of all teeth (from right second molar to left second molar) 0 = no plaque = separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth = a thin continuous band of plaque at the cervical margin = a band of plaque wider than 1 mm but covering less than 1/3 of the crown = plaque covering at least 1/3 but less than 2/3 of the crown = plaque covering 2/3 or more of crown An index for the entire mouth is determined by dividing the total score by the number surfaces (a maximum of 2 x 2 x 14 = 56 surfaces) examined. ** Plaque index score reported in the table below represents Pl for the entire mouth. the range is between 0 (no plaque) to 5 (maximum plaque coverage) |
