This review was initiated to explore whether the use of probiotics can influence the periodontal microbiota and periodontal health. The role of probiotics on periodontal disease was reviewed to analyse the clinical effects of oral probiotics on periodontal disease. The term ‘probiotic’ is a relatively new word and is currently used to name bacteria with beneficial effects for humans and animals.
