Electronic and manual literature searches were conducted up to December 2017 using the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register.

Four studies showed additional benefits in reducing periodontal probing depth (PPD) and gaining clinical attachment level (CAL), whereas, three studies showed comparable clinical periodontal outcomes between probiotics and SRP\/placebo. Significant heterogeneity was observed for PPD reduction and CAL gain. The overall mean difference for CAL gain between probiotics and placebo\/SRP was significant (WMD\u00a0=\u00a01.41, 95% CI\u00a0=\u00a00.15\u20102.67, <jats:italic>P\u00a0<\/jats:italic>=<jats:italic>\u00a0<\/jats:italic>.028) at follow up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adjunctive probiotics could result in additional benefits in CAL gain in CP.
