Brief Summary:
This study aims to investigate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri as an adjunctive therapy to non-surgical periodontal treatment of chronic periodontitis with type 2 diabetes.
Detailed Description:
Periodontitis and diabetes affect the course and outcome of each other. Many studies have shown that for patients with periodontitis, concomitant diabetes can aggravate the destruction of periodontal tissue and accelerate the progression of periodontitis, which is an important risk factor for periodontitis. Affected by diabetes, patients with poor glycemic control have worse periodontal status, and the prognosis of periodontitis treatment is more suspicious. Conversely, periodontitis also affects diabetic status, and periodontitis is associated with dysglycemia, increased insulin resistance, and increased risk of diabetic complications. After periodontal therapy, it is expected to reduce the level of systemic inflammation and ultimately improve glycemic control and overall prognosis of diabetes. However, the treatment of periodontitis with diabetes is still a challenge, and how to improve the prognosis of patients with periodontitis with type 2 diabetes remains to be studied.
BioGaia Prodentis is a probiotic chewable tablet containing Lactobacillus reuteri (combination of L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC 5289). Studies have shown that the use of the probiotics has an additional effect on periodontal therapy. However, in the periodontitis patients with type 2 diabetes, whether the use of this probiotic can improve the effect of periodontal therapy, few relevant research have published.
