Quick Summary

In this randomized controlled trial, probiotics did not improve 5 of 6 dental health outcomes related to periodontitis in participants with diabetes.

What was studied?

The effect of probiotic supplementation on periodontitis in the context of type 2 diabetes.

The outcomes measured were changes in 6 dental health metrics: plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP; or bleeding on examination), probing depth (PD; the size of the pockets between the tooth and gum), clinical attachment level (CAL; how far up the teeth the gums are), gingival recession (GR; how much the gums have pulled away from the teeth), and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA).

Blood lipids (small and large LDL cholesterol particle quantities; overall LDL size; small, intermediate, and large HDL cholesterol particle quantities) and 9 inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin 4) were also evaluated.
