Abstract

Manny researches of treatment in the fields of periodontology are finding out the effective treatment for long term and insignificant side effects. Probiotics are the potential procedure that is had a benefit to oral disease and apply to be used in research of periodontal treatment. This article aims to review the etiology of periodontitis, basics of probioticsand research in probiotics for the treatment of periodontal disease. In summary, probiotics adjunct with scaling and root planning result in improvement in clinical parameters due to reducing periodontal pathogens, decreasing bleeding on probing and periodontal probing depth and increasing clinical attachment gain. However, long term clinical studies are needed to confirm the beneficial effect of probiotics.
