45 subjects with chronic periodontitis attend periodontal clinic in college of dentistry university of Baghdad (age 25-35) the trial design as 14 days comparative study between a probiotic and chlorhexidine. Result : add yeast extract increased the total count of 4 probiotic bacteria 16.25 -29.22 % , Cell free extract of Lb.
acidophilus probiotic skim milk dairy product was the most powerful in reducing both aerobic and anaerobic plaque bacteria among other probiotic bacteria, it reduced 3.38 – 2.17 log cfu / gr aerobic bacteria while the same treatment reducing the anaerobic bacteria 2.5- 2.1 log cfu / gr, the probiotic and chlorhexidine groups had less plaque accumulations compared with the control group at the end of 14day (P < 0.001and P < 0.001) respectively .
