Abstract

The use of probiotics in dentistry has been one of the investigations with a positive effect on patient care due to their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. To determine the application and benefit of probiotics in dentistry, a literature review was carried out in the PubMed/MedLine, Scopus and SciELO databases. It was found that the administration of probiotics in adequate amounts can reduce the microorganisms found in the oral cavity, as well as prevent dental caries, halitosis and even periodontal diseases. Their use in vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women and older adults is documented, showing satisfactory results. The use of probiotics is a contribution to oral care from a healing and preventive approach, which can lead to a decrease in the consumption of antibiotics when suffering from diseases of the oral cavity and an alternative to antimicrobial resistance.
