A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical, immunological and microbiological shift in periodontitis after non-surgical periodontal therapy with adjunctive use of probiotics

ConclusionHeterogenous evidence implied a long-term clinical benefit of probiotics as an adjunct to NSPT. Outcomes may be impacted by baseline disease severity. Limited microbiological and immunological data precluded any conclusive findings. Current evidence is insufficient to formulate clinical recommendations.
