ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Probiotics are microbes that positively influence health an individual when ingested in appropriate quantities. This study is done to assess the variation in salivary buffering capacity and salivary pH in moderate gingivitis patients before and after probiotic intake. Aim and Objective: To assess the role of probiotics on buffering capacity and salivary pH. To study the effect of probiotics in controlling gingivitis. Methodology: A study group of 10 subjects between the age group of 25 - 35 years with moderate gingivitis. Gingival Index was recorded. pH and buffering capacity of the saliva is determined using GC saliva buffer kit before and after probiotic intake. Results: There was significant improvement in gingival health after 14 days consumption of probiotic yogurt. However, there is no significant difference between gingival index, buffering capacity and pH before and after probiotic consumption. Conclusion: There was significant improvement in gingival health after 14 days consumption of probiotic yogurt. Long term research and clinical trials are required to reveal whether the probiotics can be used for preventing or treating oral diseases.
