Abstract

The present study was done to evaluate and compare the effect of probiotic toothpaste in reducing streptococcus mutans and to improve periodontal status of patients who are undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. A total of 60 participants undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment in age range of 14-29 years were selected to receive probiotic toothpaste for a 30 days period. Participants were examined at 2 time points: base line (start of the study) T0 and after 30 days (T 1) of using probiotic toothpaste. In both the groups, S. Mutans Colony Count and Orthodontic Plaque Index was evaluated. At T0, the mean S. mutans colony count was found to be 63.31± 27.23x10-2 CFU/ml. At T1 the mean S. Mutans colony count was found to be 29.70 ± 15.41x10-2 CFU/ml. The mean Plaque Index was found to be 1.23+0.53 at T0. After using probiotic toothpaste twice daily for a period of 1 month (T1) the mean Plaque Index was found to be 0.11±0.32. Use of probiotic toothpaste twice daily has been found useful in reducing S. Mutans colony count after using for a period of 1 month.

益生菌牙膏减少正畸托槽周围菌斑变形链球菌的效果

本研究旨在评估和比较益生菌牙膏对固定正畸治疗患者减少变形链球菌和改善牙周状况的效果。共有60名年龄在14-29岁之间接受固定正畸治疗的参与者被选中接受益生菌牙膏，为期30天。参与者在两个时间点接受检查:基线(研究开始)T0和使用益生菌牙膏30天后(t1)。评估两组变形链球菌菌落计数和正畸菌斑指数。T0时，平均变形链球菌菌落计数为63.31±27.23 × 10-2 CFU/ml。T1时，平均变形链球菌菌落计数为29.70±15.41 × 10-2 CFU/ml。T0时的平均斑块指数为1.23+0.53。每天使用两次益生菌牙膏，持续1个月(T1)后，平均斑块指数为0.11±0.32。每天使用两次益生菌牙膏，在使用1个月后，可有效减少变形链球菌菌落计数。
