Probiotics use has been researched for gastrointestinal health. The oral cavity, of course, is not a separate component of the body, and because both periodontal disease and dental caries are bacterial diseases, a probiotics approach to treating these maladies is currently being evaluated. Several over-the-counter products claim to be formulated with probiotics and suitable for use for oral care. In this article, the authors define probiotics, review research that explores probiotics in relation to periodontal disease and caries, and identify available probiotics products aimed at promoting oral health.
益生菌的使用已针对胃肠道健康进行了研究。当然,口腔并非身体的一个独立组成部分,而且由于牙周病和龋齿均为细菌性疾病,目前正在评估采用益生菌方法治疗这些疾病的效果。几种非处方产品声称含有益生菌成分,适用于口腔护理。在本文中,作者对益生菌进行了定义,回顾了探索益生菌与牙周病和龋齿关系的研究,并确定了旨在促进口腔健康的现有益生菌产品。
