The time has come to shift the paradigm of treatment from specific bacteria elimination to altering the bacterial ecology by probiotics. In order to better understand the pathogenesis of various oral diseases, it is necessary to understand the role of the ecology and microbiology of the oral cavity. Thus, the concept of bacteriotherapy has been an emerging field in dentistry. Probiotics are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacteria or yeasts and has been found beneficial to the host health. They help in stimulating health promoting flora and also suppressing pathogens which cause and spread diseases.
