Publication Open Access Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis as adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment in periodontitis: a randomized controlled clinical trial(2023-01-01) KURU, LEYLA; KADİR, TANJU; KÖSE, KEMAL NACİ; Özener H. Ö., KURU L., KADİR T., Kuru B.© 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical and microbiological effects of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis DN-173010 containing yogurt as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment in periodontitis patients. Materials and methods: This is a prospective randomized controlled clinical study registered with NCT05408364 under clinical trial registration. Thirty periodontitis patients were divided into 2 groups at random. As adjunctive to supra and subgingival instrumentation, the test group consumed Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis DN-173010 containing yogurt while the control group consumed natural yogurt, once daily for 28 days. The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline, 28th day, and 3rd month. Microbiological analysis was performed using culture method by obtaining subgingival plaque samples from 2 periodontal sites with 4≤PD≤6 mm at the same time points. Results: The inter-group comparisons of PI, GI, and BOP as well as the changes between the measurement time points were statistically significant in favor of the test group. There were no significant differences in terms of PD and CAL changes between the study groups at all times (∆baseline–28 days, ∆baseline–3 months) (p>0.05). The number of patients presenting subgingival Bifidobacterium species was significantly greater in the test group than the control group at the 28th day (p<0.05). Conclusions: The administration of probiotics has shown beneficial effects, albeit limited, on clinical and microbiological outcomes in the management of periodontitis patients. Clinical relevance: Daily consumption of probiotic yogurt may be supportive for supra and subgingival instrumentation.Publication Metadata only Relationship between initial probing depth and residual pockets following mechanical periodontal treatment(AVES PRESS LTD, 2015) KURU, LEYLA; Meseli, Suleyman Emre; Kuru, Bahar; Kuru, LeylaObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between initial probing depth (IPD) and the ratio of residual periodontal pocket in chronic periodontitis patients following mechanical periodontal therapy (MPT). Methods: A total of 1102 periodontal pockets with IPD 4-9 mm (both included) in 11 chronic periodontitis (CP) patients were included and grouped according to their IPDs and number of roots (single-/mult-irooted). MPT consisting of oral hygiene instruction, scaling and root planing was applied in 2 sessions with one-week interval. Plaque index, gingival index, probing depth (PD), clinical attachment levels and bleeding on probing (BoP) were measured before and 8 weeks after MPT. Following MPT, periodontal pockets demonstrating PD >= 5 mm and BoP (+) were defined as residual periodontal pockets. Results: Our results showed that 10.89% of the sites from single-rooted teeth and 26.59% of the sites from multi-rooted teeth were remained as residual periodontal pockets. Further, positive correlations were found between IPD and residual periodontal pocket ratio for both single-and multi-rooted teeth (p<0.001). Conclusion: Within limitations of this study, our results suggest that applied treatment had improved the periodontal parameters and the periodontal pockets of multi-rooted teeth in CP patients remained as residual pockets in a high percentage and the deeper IPD the higher probability of residual pockets.
