Daily Probiotic Ayran Intake Reduces Gingival Inflammation: An Experimental Gingivitis Study.

Purpose: This study investigates the effects of daily consumption of a probiotic ayran drink on gingival inflammation and the development of experimental gingivitis.

Materials And Methods: This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involved 54 volunteer students. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the control group received regular ayran for 42 days, while the test group received probiotic enriched ayran (including Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum) for 42 days twice a day.

Effects of dental implant surface biomodification with Limosilactobacillus reuteri on early bone healing: an experimental animal study.

The aim of this animal study was to compare the primary/secondary stability and micro-CT bone and tissue volumes of implants that were immersed in Limosilactobacillus reuteri, cholecalciferol-D3 (vitamin D) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) suspensions/solutions before placement in bone. 40 implants (10 in each group) were placed in the iliac crest of 5 sheep. The implants were immersed in L.

Ultrasound analysis of the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles in edentulous patients rehabilitated with full-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses.

Objectives: Total tooth loss is common in the aging population resulting in insufficient chewing function with subsequent weakening of the masticatory muscles. The study aims to evaluate the changes in thicknesses of the masseter and anterior temporal muscle in edentulous patients following the reconstruction of implant-supported fixed prostheses and compare them with the dentate individuals.

Materials And Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, single-center, controlled clinical trial.

Evaluation of the thickness of masticatory muscles in patients with chronic periodontitis by ultrasonography.

Objectives: Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases. It causes changes in the biting abilities of individuals. However, periodontal treatment has positive effects on masticatory function.
