Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Periodontitis

• Registration Number: NCT05518747
• Lead Sponsor: University of Copenhagen

Brief Summary

The present study is a double-blinded randomized clinical trial with a duration of 12 weeks.

Detailed Description

The present study is a double-blinded randomized clinical trial with a duration of 12 weeks

. 60 patients with periodontitis stage 2-3, grade B-C, generalized will be allocated in the test (probiotic) and the control (placebo) group at baseline.

The intervention is non-surgical periodontal treatment, which will be applied at baseline and followed for 12 weeks.

Clinical measurements and sampling will be performed at baseline, week 6 and week 12.

Primary endpoint: Changes in microbial composition.

Secondary endpoints: Changes in clinical and immunological parameters
