Abstract
Probiotics, or health-beneficial microbes, have been around since the early twentieth century. In recent years, it has piqued the curiosity of researchers. The therapeutic paradigm has shifted from particular bacterial eradication to probiotics modifying bacterial ecology. Probiotics may be a viable field of investigation in periodontal care, especially with the rise in antibiotic resistance. Probiotics have considerable data to support their role in dental caries; however there is less evidence for their impact in periodontal disease. Thus, simply adding probiotic items to one's diet can halt, slow, or even dramatically delay the progression of periodontal illnesses, supporting a healthy lifestyle to combat periodontal infections. As their position in periodontics is still in its infancy, several issues have been raised about the benefits of probiotic supplementation. To assess their long-term repercussions for oral health and disease, a thorough understanding of the extensive ecological changes they cause in the mouth is required. The evidence for using probiotics to maintain oral health and prevent periodontal disease is reviewed in this research.
