Oral probiotics

As a type of bacteriotherapy, probiotics provide a decrease in CFU counts of cariogenic pathogens. The mechanism of probiotics in the oral cavity is not clearly established. They are associated with decreased CFU counts of cariogenic pathogens and the inhibition of periodontal pathogens. They also modulate the inflammatory response (humoral and cellular) and produce substances such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins (antimicrobial agents produced by lactic acid bacteria, whose action provides them probiotic effect).
