Abstract
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate
amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. In the last few decades, there is an
increased demand worldwide for the products containing probiotic. Recently, the
potential application of probiotics to maintain oral health and treat oral diseases has
gained attention of several researchers. Although only few clinical studies have been
conducted, the results to date suggests that the probiotics and its products can not only
be used to prevent and treat oral infections but also to maintain the overall oral health.
Considering this fact, the present study was planned to evaluate five potential probiotic
strains for oral health by in-vitro tests and by developing model dental cream.
