Topic Application of the Probiotic Improves Clinical and Microbiological Parameters Associated With Oral Health.

7746, isolated from dental plaque of caries-free individuals, has been shown to have several beneficial effects which could contribute to promote oral health, including an antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens by the production of bacteriocins and a pH buffering capacity through ammonia production. Previous work has shown that was able to colonize the oral cavity for 2-4 weeks after application. The aim of the present work was to evaluate its clinical efficacy by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study.
