Effects of a functional food supplemented with probiotics on biological factors related to dental caries in children: a pilot study

ConclusionsLactic acid probiotics can contribute to the decrease in the number of cariogenic microorganisms. However, the appropriate selection of the bacteria type with regard to its acidogenicity is fundamental to avoid the generation of an effect contrary to that expected, e.g. a significant decrease in salivary pH.
