... Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 on salivary Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli in students with initial stages of dental caries. In this double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial, 66 students (18–30 years) with initial stages of dental caries were selected and randomly assigned into 2 groups...

Lactobacilli Oral microbiome Urea In 1999, Israel Kleinberg presented a new “saliva-based anti-caries composition” named CaviStat, consisting of arginine bicarbonate and calcium carbonate complex [Kleinberg, 1999]. A toothpaste containing CaviStat (produced by Ortek Therapeutics) was compared with 1,100...

..., plaque and gingivitis were recorded. Saliva and plaque were sampled for determination of mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli (LB) in saliva and plaque as well as salivary secretory IgA (SIgA). Forty-nine (82%) children in the probiotic group and 31 (58%) in the placebo group were caries-free (p...

Saliva samples were collected and cultured onto selective media, and isolates of L. reuteri as well as DNA directly extracted from saliva were tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers.

No significant differences in the proportion of mutans streptococci and lactobacilli in plaque from GIC and contralateral teeth were found. The results suggest that the fluoride concentration of plaque...
