Consumption of Probiotics on Salivary Bacteria Causing Dental Caries
NCT ID: NCT02752594 Phase: PHASE2 Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 40 Completion: 2015-04
Conditions
Dental Caries
Interventions
probiotic, placebo
Summary
Dental caries is a multifactorial disease effecting majority of the human population.One of the etiological factor causing dental caries is salivary mutans streptococci. Reducing the levels of this bacteria in the saliva can significantly reduce the incidence of dental caries. A non-invasive intervention, such as the administration of probiotics reduced the salivary mutans streptococci levels.
Primary Outcome
counts of streptococcus mutans after the consumption of probiotic
