Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effects of probiotics on dental caries in healthy children and adolescents through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to March 2023.
- The results showed that probiotics did not significantly reduce dental caries or Lactobacillus levels but likely reduced Streptococcus mutans counts.
- Other measures, like bacterial plaque index, gingival index, and salivary pH, showed no significant effects from probiotics compared to the control group.
