Probiotics have been found to be beneficial to host health. Their primary use in medicine has been for the management of intestinal tract problems. In recent years, probiotics have been used as a treatment to promote oral health. The aim of the present study was to review published studies regarding probiotics and their effects on the oral cavity. Studies reporting the anticariogenic effects of probiotics, their use in the treatment of periodontal disease, a reduced crevicular fluid volume and cytokine content, as well as their use in the treatment of halitosis and Candida albicans were identified. Studies assessing residence time of probiotics in the oral cavity were also selected for retrieval. Most authors concluded that the use of oral probiotics was associated with an improvement in oral health, including a significantly reduced level of cariogenic and periodontal pathogens and a lower crevicular fluid volume and cytokine concentration.
益生菌对宿主健康有益。它们在医学上的主要用途是治疗肠道问题。近年来，益生菌已被用作促进口腔健康的一种治疗方法。本研究的目的是综述关于益生菌及其对口腔影响的已发表研究。本研究确定了报道益生菌抗龋作用、用于治疗牙周病、减少龈沟液体积和细胞因子含量以及治疗口臭和白色念珠菌的研究。还选择了评估益生菌在口腔中停留时间的研究进行检索。大多数作者得出的结论是，使用口腔益生菌与口腔健康的改善有关，包括致龋和牙周病原体水平显著降低，龈沟液体积和细胞因子浓度降低。
