No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will be conducted to evaluate the antibacterial effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt in decreasing streptococcus mutans count in saliva and plaque, decreasing bacterial adherence and increasing salivary pH compared to xylitol-containing chewing gum after three months.

Conditions

  • Geriatric Patients

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Probiotic yogurt

Probiotics are found in different dairy products including yoghurt, that are known as carriers of probiotics. These products can be easily integrated in daily meals to reduce cariogenic streptococcus mutans bacteria in dental biofilm

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

xylitol chewing gum

Xylitol is widely used as an added sweetener in sugar-free products. It has been found to prevent dental caries through reducing dental plaque and limiting salivary streptococcus mutans counts and their produced levels of lactic acid
