Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presentation of expected outcome: association of Lactobacillus in the efficacy of adjuvant treatment of chronic periodontitis. Presentation of the method used to verify the expected outcome: Evaluation through periodontal examination and treatment. Also a Tanita device (TTS) and an organoleptic method (OLS) were used to evaluate halitosis. The most important method is the periodontal evaluation of gingival catheterization of patients. Presentation of the parameters (numbers, percentages, indexes, etc.) used to verify if the outcome actually occurred: The sample size was determined based on the study by Mayanagi et al. (2009) and Laleman et al. (2015). Sample size was calculated for the primary endpoint, change in depth of probing (PPD), with an expected difference, it was estimated how many patients were required in each group to provide 80% power and a significance of 95%. Taking into consideration studies comparing the adjuvant effect of probiotics, it was decided to include 30 patients in each group.;Primary outcomes after completion: Clinical improvement of a combination of Lactobacillus in the efficacy of treatment of periodontitis and halitosis, verified by means of periodontal evaluation and halimeter, from the observation of at least 50% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
