“…Many alterations occur in the first couple of months after birth that affect the oral environment, such as the eruption of primary teeth and changes in the diet during this period. For example, tooth eruption through the gingiva results in the release of gingival fluid into the saliva [ 31 ].…”

This study aimed to assess the qualitative changes in the saliva during the process of primary teeth eruption. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 147 children from 2 to 48 months, of which 49 were in group A (no erupted primary teeth), 53 were in group B (at least one active erupting primary tooth), and 45 were in group C (eruption of all 20 primary teeth was completed). Salivary proteins were evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis with polyacrylamide gel, while the concentrations of salivary sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium ions were evaluated by ion selective electrodes. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni tests (alpha = 0.05). The concentration of proteins with molecular weights of 20–30 KDa was significantly higher in group A, and it gradually decreased with age. The concentration of proteins with molecular weights of 50–60 KDa in group B was significantly lower than those of groups A and C. The calcium ion concentration in group A was significantly higher than that of the other groups. The concentration of potassium ions was minimal in group C. The proteins and electrolyte profiles of the subjects’ saliva changed in the process of primary tooth eruption. The highest concentrations of proteins such as statherin, histatin, P-B peptide, and cystatin and the lowest concentrations of proteins such as amylase were present in group B.

“…These results corresponds with findings of different studies showed significant improvement in PI and GI after probiotic supplementation (28,31,32) . Another study indicated that a daily consumption of a probiotic milk reduces the effects of plaque-induced gingival inflammation in patients with a higher plaque score (33,(34)(35)(36)(37) . While another recent study suggested that the use of probiotics seemed not to be beneficial for prevention of plaque accumulation as it could be affected by reduced oral hygiene (38) .The use of probiotic tablets containing L. plantarum, L. brevis and P. acidilactici did not lead to significant changes in mean GI otherwise, a significant reduction occurred in the number of sites with higher GI and severely inflamed in addition to a significant microbiological impact have been promoted only in the test group (39) .…”

Aim: the use of probiotic gel may be considered as beneficial treatment for periodontitis. This study was directed to evaluate the possible effect of topically applied probiotics on Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) combined with scaling and root planning (SRP) in treatment of stage І and П grade A periodontitis. Subjects and Methods: 18 female patients were divided randomly into two equal groups. Group I (PG): received SRP combined with topically applied probiotics gel. Group II(CG): received SRP only. All patients were received phase I periodontal therapy. Then all patients were evaluated clinically and biochemically at base line, one month and three months after periodontal therapy Results recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed using SPSS (statistical package for social sciences). Results: Clinical parameters such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated. In all groups there was a significant reduction regarding the clinical parameters. There was insignificant better results regarding PI and GI in group I. while, there was significant better results regarding PPD and CAL in group I than group II. OPG levels showed insignificant better results in PG than CG but IL-10 levels showed significant better results in PG over time than CG. Conclusion: Adjunctive topically applied probiotic gel exhibited anti inflammatory effect through the significant expression of IL-10 after treatment of stage I and II grade A periodontitis patients. On the other hand seemed to be non significantly improve the bone formation through the limited expression of OPG

“…Brushing with fluoridated toothpaste and the application of oral rinses 2-3 times a day are advised, supervised by the parents, together with the use of microbrushes or superfloss around the resin teeth, and topical fluor application in the dental clinic [19]. The consumption of probiotics could be used to prevent dental caries and gingival diseases in these cases [20,21].…”

Space maintenance for children at very early ages in primary molars or posterior sectors is widely used and the scientific evidence is clear as to its indications. In the anterior sectors there are doubts as to whether there is a loss of space and its use is usually accompanied by aesthetic, phonatory requirements or the completion of certain habits. In this type of aesthetic anterior maintainer, there are many medium and long-term complications that can occur. Purpose: To evaluate the factors determining possible complications capable of reducing the longevity of aesthetic fixed space maintainers placed due to premature loss of temporary upper anterior teeth. Methods: Data were collected on 100 patients of 1–5 years of age requiring fixed space maintainer placement in the upper anterior area due to caries or traumatisms. Results: Complications were recorded in the form of resin tooth fracture (in 41% of the cases), welding fracture (16%), detachments (28%), gingivitis (26%) and root resorptions (8%). Space maintainer placement in younger children (12–24 months of age) was associated with a significantly greater incidence of root resorptions (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Within the limits of the present study, it is concluded that fixed space maintainers would be a good treatment option in patients with prematurely missing anterior teeth, though the use of temporary first molars as abutments could imply a greater risk of failure, with a lesser incidence of root resorptions. Periodic checks and adequate measures of hygiene are essential.
