Objective: to evaluate the effect of dairy products on streptococcus mutans (SM) and lactobacilli (LB) in saliva on group of Egyptian children. Material and Methods: One hundred and twenty Egyptian children from both sexes were included in this study, their age ranged from 4-12 years old. These children were equally divided into 3 groups, each group consisted of 40 children. First group (group A) was instructed to drink plain cow's milk, second group (group B) was instructed to drink milk plus sugar and third group (group C) was instructed to drink milk plus honey. Three saliva samples were collected from each child, one before drinking the beverage (S 1 ) then immediately after drinking (S 2 ) and finally one hour after drinking the beverage (S 3 ) by spitting in a sterile plastic container, then submitted to the Culture and Sensitivity Unit at The Regional center for Mycology and Biotechnology at Al-Azhar University to evaluate the salivary concentration on SM and LB for each subject. Results: The use of plain milk resulted in decrease in the mean value of SM immediately after drinking then subsequently showed a slight increase after one hour. And LB mean value increased immediately after beverage, then subsequently showed a significant increase after one hour. The use of milk plus sugar resulted in significant increase in mean value of SM immediately and one hour after beverage. And the mean value of LB significantly increased immediately and one hour after beverage. The use of milk plus honey resulted in significant decrease in the mean value of SM one hour after beverage .And the mean value of LB significantly decreased immediately and one hour after beverage. Conclusion: the results revealed that, Milk and dairy products have a low cariogenic potential. Adding sugar makes whole milk as cariogenic as a sucrose solution. Natural honey had an antibacterial activity on SM and LB bacteria.Codex : 05/1601 dentaljournal.forgirls@yahoo.com

“…Other investigations have explored the potential role for probiotic lactobacilli and bifidobacteria to modulate the oral microbial ecology [67]. Data have indicated that regular intake of milk supplemented with probiotic lactobacilli and fluoride dramatically reduces dental caries in children and adults [68]. Results from laboratory and animal model studies are promising; however, largescale, randomized clinical trials are still needed to support the utilization of probiotics as a safe and long-lasting treatment for dental caries.…”

The oral microbiome plays a crucial role in the establishment and maintenance of oral health. Major disturbances in the interactions between this microbiome, the microenvironment, and the host may lead to the development of oral diseases. A large proportion of infectious diseases that affect humans are caused by organisms living in biofilms. This is also the case for oral infections such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, and endodontic and fungal infections. In this review, new concepts regarding the role of the oral biofilm in the etiopathogenesis of these diseases are presented, and a more ecological view of pathogenic communities as causative agents of oral diseases is discussed. We believe that a better understanding of oral biofilm physiology and ecology will provide insight for the development of new cost-effective diagnostic tools, as well as preventive and therapeutic strategies for the management of these infections.

“…In another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of milk supplemented with fluoride and/or L. rhamnosus the effect on primary root caries lesions was investigated. The use of milk only supplemented with lactobacilli showed a positive effect, as well as the fluoride, but the beneficial effect was strongest by combining both [76].…”

Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that beneficially affect the host. Probiotic bacteria have been used therapeutically for years to target gastrointestinal disease by rebalancing the complex microflora. Besides the gastrointestinal tract also the oral cavity is highly colonized by bacteria and many different bacterial species are part of the microbiota in the mouth, as it offers ideal conditions for bacteria with a stable temperature, moist surface with a relatively stable pH and regular supply of nutrients. By disturbing the balance of microorganisms in the oral cavity or by extensive accumulation of plaque, the ratio of pathogenic organisms can increase and lead to oral health problems. Probiotic bacteria, like lactobacilli, are a promising treatment strategy for oral diseases with a microbiological aetiology. Those include plaqueassociated diseases like dental caries, which is an infectious disease with microbial processes eroding and destroying the hard dental tissue or inflammation of periodontal tissue, namely gingivitis and the more severe periodontitis. Moreover, endodontic infections, and even fungal, viral and acute bacterial infections could be treated by a probiotic therapy. The interest of probiotics in the field of oral health is growing, although it is still in its infancy. The present review adresses criteria for the selection of probiotic lactobacilli strains. It encompasses existing evidence on the use of lactobacilli for caries, halitosis and candidiasis, as well as for periodontal disease like Gingivitis and periodontitis.
