Probiotics: definition
Probiotics: definition
 World Health Organization:
 “live microorganisms which when administered in
adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the
host”
 The concept of beneficial for
health microorganisms dates
back to the ideas of Nobel
prize laureate Ellie Metchnikoff
in the early 20th century.
Prebiotics
“Prebiotics are non-digestible but fermentable
oligosaccharides that are specifically designed to
change the composition and activity of the intestinal
microbiota with prospect to promote the health of the
host.”
Fructo-oligosaccharides (chicory, inulin),Lactulose.
Positively affect the endogenous flora,
Stimulate the growth of one or a limited number of bacterial
species.

Route of administration
Route of administration
Generally probiotics are delivered
in dairy Products( fermented milks)
, as foodsupplement in tablet forms
, or in soft drinks. However , these
rotes of administration cannot
provide prolonged contact with oral
tissues, facilitating probiotic
adhesion to saliva coated surfaces.
A lozenge form or a chewing tablet
or gum might better serve the
needs for periodontal health prophylaxis
The frequency of intake needs further
evaluation because of the inability
of most probioticspecies tested
to reside permanently
in the oral cavity
To date, no studies have been
performed to investigate the
concentration – should not be
lower than 106
