Aim: Studies have shown that probiotic microorganisms, which are frequently used to support gut health, may also provide advantages for tooth health. Probiotics (PBs) have been linked to a decrease in cariogenic bacteria and a defense against periodontal diseases, while it's unclear exactly how they work in the mouth. Our research focused on conditions like cavities, gum disease, poor breath, mucositis, and periimplantitis in an effort to investigate how PBs might be used to enhance oral health. Materials and methods: We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using the Boolean keywords "Oral health" AND "Probiotics." Only articles published in English between January 1, 2019, and April 13, 2023 were included in the search. Results: our automated search turned up a total of 3460 articles. Twelve papers were chosen for inclusion after duplicates were eliminated, the papers were examined, and their applicability was assessed. Conclusion: It is difficult to determine how bacteria in food or dietary supplements could affect the stable oral microbiota. Probiotic microorganisms have been shown to have demonstrable therapeutic effects, however there is currently insufficient data to support their use in oral health. To fully comprehend the long-term impacts of probiotic bacteria on the oral environment, including their capacity to colonize and build biofilms, more research is required.

Abstract
Aim: Studies have shown that probiotic microorganisms, which are frequently used to support gut health, may also provide advantages for tooth health. Probiotics (PBs) have been linked to a decrease in cariogenic bacteria and a defense against periodontal diseases, while it's unclear exactly how they work in the mouth. Our research focused on conditions like cavities, gum disease, poor breath, mucositis, and periimplantitis in an effort to investigate how PBs might be used to enhance oral health. Materials and methods: We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using the Boolean keywords "Oral health" AND "Probiotics." Only articles published in English between January 1, 2019, and April 13, 2023 were included in the search. Results: our automated search turned up a total of 3460 articles. Twelve papers were chosen for inclusion after duplicates were eliminated, the papers were examined, and their applicability was assessed. Conclusion: It is difficult to determine how bacteria in food or dietary supplements could affect the stable oral microbiota. Probiotic microorganisms have been shown to have demonstrable therapeutic effects, however there is currently insufficient data to support their use in oral health. To fully comprehend the long-term impacts of probiotic bacteria on the oral environment, including their capacity to colonize and build biofilms, more research is required.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
