IMPACT OF NON-SURGICAL PERIODONTAL THERAPY IN ASSOCIATION WITH MULTI-STRAIN PROBIOTIC IN THE INTESTINAL AND ORAL MICROBIOME

Some studies have reported the clinical and microbiological benefits of using probiotics in association with NSPT. However, most of these results are from studies aiming to test local application of probiotic strains and have not focused on its systemic impact. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of NSPT and the use of a multi-strain systemic probiotic in the relative abundance of the intestinal microbiota and its impact in clinical and microbiological periodontal parameters on short-term
