Research Study #28

In Vitro Evaluation of the Effect of Oral Probiotic Weissella cibaria on the Formation of Multi-Species Oral Biofilms on Dental Implant Surfaces

Conclusions

This study is the first to confirm the effect of oral probiotic W. cibaria strains CMU and CMS1 on the formation of multi-species oral biofilm in vitro and in a titanium disc using various analytical methods. This study suggests that oral probiotics can be used as an adjunct therapy to prevent peri-implant infections by inhibiting the formation of implant biofilms.
Our results suggest that the W. cibaria probiotics offer new possibilities for the prevention and treatment of bacterial URTIs.
