Uso de probióticos como nuevo enfoque terapéutico y complementario en el tratamiento de periodontitis, revisión sistemática de la literatura

Abstract

Probiotics are described as live microorganisms that, administered in adequate amounts, produce a benefit to the host. They combat pathogenic bacteria through mechanisms of action, such as competitive exclusion, bacterial adhesion, immunomodulation, among others; creating a suitable biofilm and preventing the aggregation of pathogenic microorganisms.
