A clinical trial, NCT06141083, is currently recruiting participants to assess the effectiveness of a probiotic supplement called TCI188 in improving oral health. The trial will measure various oral measurements, such as pocket depth and plaque index, before and after taking chewable tablets for 6-8 weeks and 12 weeks. It will also evaluate changes in inflammatory markers, oral microflora, and liver and renal function biomarkers. The study is randomized and aims to prevent periodontal diseases. The trial is being conducted in Taiwan and is expected to be completed by November 30, 2024. [Extracted from the article]
