Probiotics are used to control periodontal diseases, dental caries and halitosis (oral malodour. It also has a potentiality to manage multifactorial diseases such as the periodontal diseases and caries. Conventional treatment cannot restore homeostasis. Studies about the use of probiotics in dentistry are held, where certain studies had a negative result and some had a positive result. Probiotics are used to modulate and regulate the immune system of an individual.
