Article Synopsis
- Periodontitis is caused by an imbalance in oral bacteria, leading to inflammation and bone loss, which researchers investigated using a murine model.
- The study assessed the effects of the probiotic LA5 on both bone loss and changes in the oral and gut microbiomes after infection with periodontopathic bacteria.
- Results showed that LA5 reduced bone loss and countered dysbiosis in the microbiomes, suggesting its potential as a treatment for periodontitis.
Probiotics may be considered as an additional strategy to achieve a balanced microbiome in periodontitis. However, the mechanisms underlying the use of probiotics in the prevention or control of periodontitis are still not fully elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two commercially available strains of lactobacilli on gingival epithelial cells (GECs) challenged by .

Probiotics of the genus may restore the symbiotic microbiome and modulate the immune response, leading to periodontitis control. We evaluated the effect of two strains of able to inhibit interaction with host cells and biofilm formation, but with distinct immunomodulatory properties, in a mice periodontitis model.

We aimed to analyze the prevalence of oral Candida spp in individuals with ED. The sample of the study was comprised of 30 women with purgative habits and 15 without purgative habits.

This study aims to summarize the findings of 26 patients with ED in a Brazilian dental clinic, through analyzing the body mass index and oral conditions (decayed, missing and filled teeth-DMFT, dental wear, salivary flux, xerostomia, oral hygiene-OHI-S, oral lesions, and the prevalence of candidiasis), in order to facilitate recognition and enable accurate diagnosis for the general dentist. Probably, the premature diagnosis of ED resulted in lower DMFT and oral lesions.
