Abstract

Background: Periodontal disease is a chronic, multifactorial microbial infection that affects the attachment
apparatus. Conventional treatment modalities for chronic periodontitis include scaling and root planing.
Antimicrobial supplements, such as probiotics, photodynamic therapy, one-stage full-mouth disinfection, and
local drug delivery (LDD), are being used as adjuncts to SRP to enhance the treatment outcome of periodontal
disease. Antibiotic resistance and recolonization by pathogenic bacteria have driven the evolution of probiotics
within the LDD system. The local delivery system offers advantages over systemic drug administration, and
maintains effective pocket levels of antibacterial agents for extended periods, which help alter subgingival flora
and promote the healing of the attachment apparatus. Therefore, the present systematic review aimed to
assess the clinical efficacy of locally administered probiotics as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in patients
with chronic periodontitis.
