Abstract

Probiotics are live micro-organisms that when administered in adequate amounts provide health benefits to the host. Studies suggests that probiotics act by direct inhibition of pathogenic micro-organisms, along with modulation of the mucosal immune system. Probiotic technology uses natural beneficial bacteria to provide a natural defense against the pathogenic bacteria species, thus maintain oral health. This review summarise the role of probiotics in periodontics.
