Probiotics –A Miracle in Periodontal Therapy
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Most common forms of infections are caused by oral diseases. The use of higher dose of antibiotics has resulted in the development of resistant subgingival microbiota in adult periodontitis patients. New methods such as probiotic approaches to eliminate pathogenic microbiota can be investigated. Probiotics are one of the newly introduced agents widely used for therapeutic action i.e. whole bacteria replacement therapy. This paper highlights the role of probiotics in periodontal therapy. Keywords: Probiotics, Periodontal disease , Synbiotic , Bacteriotherapy , Lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium.
