      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The method of assigning drugs to patients will be randomly and by random permutation blocks with a block size of 4 and 6 changes. The random list will be obtained manually and using the tables in the book "Design and Analysis of Clinical Trials" which is provided under its reference. The random list preparation method will be as follows:
In the present study, placebo and probiotic groups (2 groups) were consideredPatients enter the study in order and they are assigned a code according to the order of their entry (codes 1 to 44). To make the first block (for example: a block of size 4), the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are randomized. For example, the order of randomization is 2, 4, 1 and 3, in this case, in the probiotic group, patients with codes 2 and 4 and in the placebo group, patients with codes 1 and 3 are included. To make the second block (for example: a block of size 6), the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are randomized. Suppose the order of randomization is 10, 7, 9, 5, 6 and 8. In this case, in the probiotic group, patients with codes 10, 7, 9 and in the placebo group, patients with codes 5, 6, and 8 are included in the study. This work will be done until all the blocks are obtained and the sample size of 22 people in each group is reachedIn order to conceal the allocation, sealed envelopes are prepared, the contents of which are not known, and envelope numbers 1 to 44 are inserted. Inside each envelope, based on the list of random numbers, the name of the group to which the person will be assigned is mentioned. It should be noted that this step will be performed by a person who has no role in the evaluation of patients.

1. Fleiss JL. Design and analysis of clinical experiments: John Wiley &amp; Sons; 2011, Blinding description: This study will be done in a three-way blind. In this research, the patient, the evaluator (the person who measures the results of the study) and the statistical analyst (dissertation statistics consultant) will be uninformed (blind) of the groups under study. The two drugs used in this research are mouthwashes of the same color with the same smell and temperature, which are placed in containers with the same weight and the same appearance, and are numbered by the pharmacist based on a random list. Each patient who enters the study (in the order of patients' entry) is assigned a code and receives the medicine corresponding to that code. Neither the evaluating dentist nor the patient will know the contents of the packages (because each package has a code and only the manufacturer of the drugs will know the contents of the packages). And the nature of the drugs will be revealed after analyzing the results.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention group:Intervention group: This group will be given the nutritional counseling that was given to the control group (placebo) for prevention, and in addition, probiotic mouthwash will be prescribed. The way to prepare probiotic mouthwash is to take 3 grams of Femilact powder (femilact zist Takhmir Iran), which contains the composition of probiotic powder containing colony-forming u unit 13.5 x 1010 Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus roteri, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium debifidom are dissolved in 70 ml of normal saline.They are kept in 70 ml bottles at room temperature and have been checked for physical stability during two months and no changes in their color, smell and aroma have been made. The patient is asked to use the mouthwash three times a day and keep the mouthwash in his mouth for at least 1 to 2 minutes..</i_freetext>
