About this study

Official title: Effect of Probiotic Intervention With Lactobacillus Brevis KABP052 (CECT7480) and Lactobacillus Plantarum KABP051 (CECT7481) After Surgical Removal of Mandibular Third Molars: a Randomized, Controlled, Double-blinded Trial

Single-center, double-blind, randomized trial of probiotics L. plantarum KABP-051 (CECT7481) and L. brevis KABP-052 (CECT7480) taken twice daily for 7 days after surgical removal of both mandibular 3rd molars. Patients were assessed for surgery-derived complications in a follow-up visit 7 days after surgery, and provided daily evaluations of pain, swelling and eating difficulty in a patient diary.

Read the detailed description

This was a single-centre, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate whether probiotic supplementation during 1 week after surgery reduced post-surgery complications compared to placebo.

Healthy subjects of both genders aged between 14 and 25 years who required the surgical removal of both mandibular 3rd molars were recruited from the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Foundation of Hospital de Nens de Barcelona (Children's Hospital of Barcelona).

Patients were randomly assigned to receive probiotic tablets containing a mixture of L. plantarum KABP-051 (CECT7481) and L. brevis KABP-052 (CECT7480) or to receive placebo, twice a day for 7 days post surgery.

Patients were assessed by trained specialists for surgery-derived complications (fever, oral alveolitis, alveolar osteitis, trismus) in a follow-up visit 7 days after surgery. Patients also provided daily evaluations for pain, swelling and eating difficulties in a patient diary.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complications derived from surgical removal of both mandibular third molars

    Occurrence of low grade fever (Yes/No), oral alveolitis (Yes/No) and/or trismus (Yes/No), as determined by a trained specialist

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Post-surgical pain, patient-rated

    Oral pain derived from surgery, rated 0 (none) to 10 (unbearable) in a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in a patient diary.

    Measured: Daily, for 7 days

  2. Post-surgical swelling, patient-rated

    Mandibular swelling derived from surgery, rated 0 (none) to 10 (unbearable) in a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in a patient diary.

    Measured: Daily, for 7 days

  3. Post-surgical eating difficulty, patient-rated

    Eating difficulty as a result from surgery, rated 0 (none) to 10 (unbearable) in a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in a patient diary.

    Measured: Daily, for 7 days

Who may be eligible to take part?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complications derived from surgical removal of both mandibular third molars (time frame: 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 May 2020.
