ABSTRACT

Objective:

The aim of this comprehensive review is to present an update about the current status ofprobiotics in terms of its application in the fi eld of dentistry.

Background:

The concept of administrationof benefi cial bacteria with a view to replace harmful microbes with useful ones has been revived bythe probiotic concept. The main fi eld of research has been in the gastrointestinal tract. However, pastfew years has seen investigation of probiotics from the oral health perspective. Probiotic approach hasshown promising results in oral cavity with respect to control of chronic disease such as dental caries,periodontitis, and recurring problems like halitosis and candidial infections. Control of biofi lm formationon voice prosthesis has also been documented.

Conclusion:

Despite the immense potential of probiotics,data is still defi cient on the probiotic action in the oral cavity. Further double-blind, randomized,placebo-controlled trials are needed before any concrete clinical recommendations can be made.
RESUMO

Objetivo:

O objetivo desta revisão compreensiva é apresentar uma atualização (estado da arte) dos conhecimentosa respeito da probiótica, em termos de sua aplicação no campo da odontologia. Fundamento O conceito da administraçãode bactérias benéfi cas com a intenção de substituir micróbios patogênicos foi redescoberto pelo conceitode probiótica. Seu principal campo de pesquisa tem sido no trato gastrointestinal. Entretanto, nos últimos anos a probiótica tem sido investigada pela perspectiva da saúde bucal. A abordagem probiótica tem mostrado resultadospromissores em doenças crônicas, tais como a cárie dentária, a periodontite e problemas recorrentes como halitosee infecções por Cândida. O controle da formação de biofi lme em próteses auxiliares da fonação tem sido bem documentado.

Conclusão:

Apesar do grande potencial da probiótica, os dados ainda são escassos a respeito da açãoprobiótica na boca. Estudos duplo cegos, randomizados e com controle por placebos ainda são necessários antes querecomendações clínicas possam ser feitas.
