“…In agreement with these results various studies proved that tendency for probiotics to increase lactobacilli levels (17,(19)(20)(21)24) . Montalto, et al (25) found that the probiotic supplement demonstrated a statistically significant rise of Lactobacilli salivary count when lactobacilli were given in liquid form and in capsules in disagreement with this study that did not show a significant difference increase.…”

Introduction:The concept of microbial ecological changes and probiotic approaches is a promising concept for preventing dental disease and decreasing of oral cavity pathogens. Aim: to evaluate the effect of probiotic strain Lactobacillus on the count of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus in saliva and the plaque formation rate. Materials and methods: This randomized clinical trial included 30 normal apparently healthy and cooperative children aged 6 to 11 years and selected from the

“…In agreement with these results, Chaturvedi, et al (24) evaluated the effect of probiotic lozenge application on SM count in the plaque of orthodontic individuals. It was found that daily short term Lactobacilli brevis ingestion derived probiotic into a lozenge may decrease SM count in plaque surrounding orthodontic brackets.…”

“…Furthermore, L. reuteri in lozenges were reported to reduce obligate anaerobes in chronic periodontitis patients, increase oxytocin to stimulate oral wound healing, and increase pocket closure at the molar site [83][84][85]. Besides that, Lactobacillus brevis CD2 in lozenges was also reported to reduce S. mutans in orthodontic patients, and improve symptoms and pain caused by recurrent aphthous stomatitis [86,87].…”

In recent years, oral probiotics have been researched on their effectiveness in reducing and preventing oral diseases. Oral probiotics could be introduced into the oral cavity to keep the equilibrium of the microbiome. Hence, the delivery carrier for oral probiotics plays an important factor to ensure a high number of oral probiotics were delivered and released into the oral cavity. This review presents a brief overview of oral microbiota and the role of oral probiotics in reducing oral diseases. Moreover, important aspects of the oral probiotic product such as viability, adherence ability, health effects, safety, and delivery site were discussed. Besides that, the importance of utilizing indigenous oral probiotics was also emphasized. Oral probiotics are commonly found in the market in the form of chewing tablets, lozenges, and capsules. Hence, the oral probiotic carriers currently used in the market and research were reviewed. Furthermore, this review introduces new potential oral probiotic delivery carriers such as oral strip, bucco-adhesive gel, and mouthwash. Their effectiveness in delivering oral probiotics for oral health was also explored.

Introduction Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus count is found to be higher in orthodontic patients and is one of the leading causes of white spot lesion formation. Probiotics are emerging as alternative methods of plaque control. Aims and Objectives To determine the effects of different types of probiotics on S. mutans and Lactobacillus levels in saliva of orthodontic patients. Materials and Methods A total of 140 subjects were divided into Control group (Group I) with 20 subjects and study group taking probiotics (Group II) with 120 subjects. Saliva samples were taken at baseline ( T0), after three weeks ( T1), and after six weeks ( T2). The samples were diluted and incubated on specific agar media plates. The colonies observed were expressed in colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/ml) of saliva. Group II was further subdivided into six subgroups based on probiotic intake with 20 subjects in each subgroup. Results Statistically significant difference was found in salivary microbial counts in all the probiotic groups ( p < 0.05). The highest reduction in count of S. mutans (653.00 ± 102.23 CFU/ml to 84.1 ± 30.48 CFU/ml) and Lactobacilli (87.35 ± 15.64 CFU/ml to 14.60 ± 8.28 CFU/ml) was seen in the lozenges group. Conclusion Probiotics decrease the number of salivary S. mutans and Lactobacilli and lozenges could be considered for orthodontic fixed appliance patients.
