Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Be able to identify the effects of oral probiotics and determine the different methods probiotics can be administered. Learn the different ways probiotics can be incorporated daily.
METHODS
This research used the key words oral health, oral microorganisms, probiotics, and periodontal health. Meta-analysis, literature reviews, irrelevant articles, and articles older than five years were excluded.
CONCLUSIONS
Periodontal probing depths decreased throughout all three trials. Bleeding on probing showed substantial reduction signifying a reduction in gingival inflammation. Plaque and gingival indices, although measured in only a subset of trials, also displayed positive trends. Clinical attachment/loss decreased in all trials that included this parameter. Minor increase in recession after a three month recall emphasized further need for investigation In this area.
IMPLICATIONS
Probiotics have gained attention in recent years for their ability to revolutionize dental care. They are inexpensive and easily accessible. They are used to strengthen the number of healthy bacteria in the periodontium by inhibiting the adhesion, growth, and metabolism of harmful bacteria.
