PROBIOTICS
• Probiotics are dietary supplements, which when
administered in adequte amount is used for the
prevention and the treatment of a wide range of diseases.
• These products consist of beneficial micro organisms,
‑
which stimulate health promoting flora thus, suppressing
the pathologic colonization and disease spread.
PROBIOTICS
• DEFINITION :
• Living microorganisms, which, when administered in
adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host
(WHO).
• Probiotics - also called friendly bacteria/good
bacteria .
• Probiotics are available in foods and dietary
supplements (for eg; capsules, tablets, gel and
powders)
• Eg of foods products-
• yogurt,
• fermented & unfermented milk,
• some juices and beverages.
HISTORY
• Term probiotics =
Pro (for)- Latin
‟
+
Bios ( life) - Greek
‟
= for life / to promote life
.
HISTORY
• - Concept of probiotics 1st
introduced
Metchnikoff in his book “prolongation of life”
- proposed LAB in fermented milk promote
longevity in human by
competing with the micro organisms that are
‑
injurious to health.
1907
HISTORY
• Lilley & Stillwell coined term Probiotics
•
• Fuller defined- live microbial food
suppliment, which beneficially affect the host
animal by improving its microbial balance
Hull et.al introduce 1st
probiotic species into
research- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Holcombh et.al – Bifidobacterium bifidum
1965
1989
1984
1991
PREBIOTICS
• Nondigestible food ingredients that selectively
stimulate the growth and/or activity of
beneficial microorganisms already in human
body.
• Eg,
inulin fructo oligosachharides
‑
SYNBIOTIC
• Product contains both probiotics + prebiotics
PROBIOTICS PREBIOTICS
Live microbes Inert chemical
Act on gut flora Act as a cofactor for probiotics
& selectively favours probiotic
compound
Eg: lactobacillus Eg: Lactulose
• Probiotic micro organism – bacteria, yeast ,mould
• Most of the probiotic bacteria come from two groups,
Lactobacillus
Bifidobacterium.
Probiotic action is highly
strain specific
• COMPOSITION OF PROBIOTICS
• Probiotics can be made of a single bacteria strain or a group
of bacterial strain
• Lactic acid bacteria –L.acidophilus, L.casei, L.lactis,
• L.salivarius, L. plantrum, L. rhamnosus, L.reuteri,
L.fermentum,
• Streptococcusthermophilus,
• Enterococcus faecalis
• Bifidobacterium breve,B.bifidum B. longum,
• Saccharomyces boulardii
FEATURES OF PROBIOTICS
Non pathogenic,
‑ Nontoxic,
Resistant to gastric acid
& bile acid
adhere to gut/oral
epithelial tissue
Enhance specific and non-specific immune response of the host
Should persist for short periods in the GI tract influencing metabolic activities such
as cholesterol assimilation, lactose activity, and vitamin production
MODE OF ACTION
1-
• Directly interacting with the
disease causing microbes
• Competitive exclusion- competing
with the disease causing microbes
• Modulation of host immune
response

Increase secretory lgA production both locally and systemically
Modulate cytokine profiles
Induce hyporesponsiveness to food antigens
• NONIMMUNOLOGIC BENEFITS
Digestion of food and compete with pathogens for nutrients
Alter local pH to create an unfavourable environment for pathogens
Produce bacteriocins to inhibit pathogens
Produce superoxide radicals
Stimulate epithelial mucin production
Enhance intestinal barrier function
Compete with pathogen for adhesion
Modify pathogen derived toxins

PROBIOTICS AND ORAL CAVITY
• RETENTION OF PROBIOTIC IN ORAL CAVITY
• Doesnot exhibit permanent colonization in oral
cavity – should be used in regular basis
• Horz et.al - after probiotic withdrawal from 8th
day
onwards- decrease in S.salivaris K12 level in saliva
Haukio et.al –binding strenght of 17 strains of
Lactobacillus & 7 strains of bifidobacteria to saliva &
oral mucous membrane are different for different
strain
PROBIOTICS AND DENTAL CARIES
• Probiotics with anticaries effect – adhere to
the enamel surface and prevent the
proliferation of cariogenic bacteria.
• Probiotic incorporated into dietary products
like cheese – neutralize the acidic condition &
promote remineralization
• Regular intake of probitic containing cheese,
yogurt or milk – decrease cariogenic
streptococci in saliva and dental plaque
• Nasse et.al- long term consumption of
probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus rhamnosus
GG in milk - decreases S.mutans level &
decreases caries risk
• Probiotics & molecular genetics to replace and
displace cariogenic bacteria with non cariogenic
‑
bacteria .
• Various approaches for prevention of dental caries
include
• 1. Utilizing bacteria that expressed bacteriocins or
bacteriocin like inhibitory substances to specifically
‑
prevent the growth of cariogenic bacteria.
• 2. Use probiotic bacteria which have ability to
colonize teeth and influence the supra gingival plaque
‑
• 3. Using probiotic strains which have suitable
antagonistic activity against relevant oral
bacteria.
• 4. Using recombinant strain of S. mutans
expressing urease, which reduce the
cariogenicity of plaque.
• 5.Using genetically modified probiotics
-“designer probiotics”
• Eg: a recombinant strain of Lactobacillus that
expressed antibodies targeting one of the
major adhesins of S. mutans (antigenI/II) was
able to reduce both the viable counts of S.
mutans and the caries score
PROBIOTICS AND HALITOSIS
• Oral malodor – multifactorial etiology in most cases –
origin is from oral cavity.
• Occurs due to production of volatile sulphur gases by
anaerobic bacteria on food & salivary protein.
• Probiotics are able to breakdown putrescence odors
by fixing the toxic gases (volatile sulfur compounds)
and changing them to gases needed for metabolism.
• Bacterial species highly beneficial in Rx oral
malodor
S. salivarium
Weissella
cibaria
• Gargling with solution containing W.cibaria result in
reduction of H2S & methanethiol produced by
fusobacterium nucleatum.
• Use of lozenges / chewing gum with S.salivarius K12
↓volatile sulphur compounds
• by producing bacteriocins & inhibit proliferation of
bacteria causing halitosis
Kang, et al. - significant reduction of volatile sulfur
compounds after gargling twice daily with 15 ml Weissella
cibaria for 2 min.
Burton, et al. - significant reductions in volatile sulfur
compounds by using probiotic Streptococcus
PROBIOTICS AND PERIODONTAL DISEASE
• Treatment of periodontal diseases in recent years has
moved towards an antibiotic / anti microbial model of
‑
disease management.
• Probiotics decrease the pH of the oral cavity so that
plaque bacteria cannot form dental plaque and
calculus that causes the periodontal disease.
Probiotic lactobaclli – inhibit the growth of
peridontal pathogen
Porphyromonas
gingivalis
Prevotella intermedia
Actinbacillus
actinomycetumcomitan
s
• Krasse et.al – ingestion of chewing gum incorporated
with probiotic lactobacilli reuteri
• ↓ gum bleeding
• ↓ gingival inflamation
• ↓ plaque index scores
• Probiotic effect of L.reuteri
• - secretion of bacteriocins
• - competetive inhibition of pathogenic bacteria
• Inhibit production of proinflammatory cytokines
• Riccia et.al –Regular use of lozenges containing
L.brevis reduce periodontitis mainly by their anti-
inflammatory effect
• Probiotic species produce antioxidants.
• Antioxidants prevent plaque formation by
neutralizing the free electrons that are needed for the
mineral formation.
• Subgingival application of a bacterial mixture
including S.sanguis, S.salivarius, and S.mitis after
scaling and root planning significantly suppressed the
re colonization of
‑ Porphyromona gingivalis and P.
intermedia
• This guided pocket re colonization approach may
‑
provide a valuable alternative to treatment options for
periodontitis.
PROBIOTICS AND ORAL CANDIDASIS
• Candida species are normal commensal oral flora
but can cause a clinically apparent lesion if the
immune defenses are damaged either on the local or
systemic level
• Consumption of cheese containing the probiotic L.
rhammnosus GG exhibited reduction in oral
Candida thus confer protective effect against oral
candidiasis.
• Other strains of lactobacilli do not show any effect on
oral Candida.
• Probiotics and voice prosthesis
• probiotics strongly reduce the occurrence of
pathogenic bacteria in voice prosthetic
biofilms.
• consumption of buttermilk, which contains
• L.cremoris, L. lactis spp. can produce
antimycotics and other substances,prolongs the
lifetime of indwelling voice prostheses
SIDE EFFECTS AND RISKS
• If occur- mild and digestive (such as gas or bloating).
• May cause infections in immunocompromised pt that
need to be treated with antibiotics
• May cause unhealthy metabolic activities, too much
stimulation of the immune system, or gene transfer
PRECAUTIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Since probiotics contain live micro organisms, there
‑
is a slight chance that these preparations might cause
pathological infection, particularly in critically ill or
severely immunocompromised patients.
• Probiotic strains of Lactobacillus may cause
bacteremia in patients with short bowel syndrome,
‑
due to altered gut integrity.
Lactobacillus preparations - CI persons hypersensitive
to lactose or milk.
S. boulardii - CI in pt with a yeast allergy.
No CI are for Bifidobacteria - most species are
considered nonpathogenic and non toxigenic.
‑
CONCLUSION
• CONCLUSION
• Probiotics are regulated as dietary supplements and are not
subjected to the same rigorous standards as medications.
• A challenge with these products involves the complexity of
quality control with live micro organisms.
‑
• As a result, individuals may obtain a product that is ineffective
or that contains varying quantities of bacteria or yeast.
•
• Probiotic therapy uses bacterial interference and
immunomodulation in the control of several infectious,
inflammatory, and immunologic conditions.
CONCLUSION
• Dietary probiotics do not confer a major risk for
oral health.
• However, the risk of transferring antibiotic
resistance from probiotics to virulent
micro organisms requires more evaluation.
‑
• In conclusion, probiotics have made their way
into oral healthcare and are more likely to be a
boon rather than sham.
