[Efficacy of probiotic application in the treatment and prevention of peri-implant mucositis].

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of probiotics in the treatment and prevention of peri-implant complications. Clinical, immunological and microbiological studies were conducted before, 1 and 6 months after the periodontal treatment in 42 patients (120 implants) with peri-implant mucositis. The use of probiotics in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis led to a significant and more pronounced improvement in oral health state in terms of an increased functional activity of the salivary glands, local immunity factors and microbiocenosis.
