Probiotics or health-beneficial bacteria have only recently been introduced in dentistry after years of successful use in mainly gastrointestinal disorders. The concept of bacteriotherapy was first introduced in the beginning of 20 century. They are administered in different quantities that allow for colon colonization. These products help in stimulating health promoting flora and also suppressing the pathologic colonization and disease spread. The use of probiotic plays an important aspect in dentistry too, ever since the oral infections occupied the prime spot among the other infections affecting the humans. Probiotics strengthen the immune system to combat allergies, stress, exposure to toxic substances, and other diseases. This review is an attempt to discuss briefly the role of probiotics in oral health.
益生菌或有益健康的细菌在主要用于胃肠道疾病并成功应用多年后，最近才被引入牙科领域。细菌疗法的概念最早于20世纪初提出。它们以不同的剂量给药，以实现结肠定植。这些产品有助于刺激促进健康的菌群，同时抑制病理性定植和疾病传播。自从口腔感染在影响人类的其他感染中占据首要位置以来，益生菌在牙科领域的应用也发挥着重要作用。益生菌可增强免疫系统，以对抗过敏、压力、接触有毒物质和其他疾病。本综述旨在简要讨论益生菌在口腔健康中的作用。
