The aim of this study was to determine the effect of short-term consumption of probiotic yogurt containing bifidobacterium lactis on salivary streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli in students with initial stages of dental caries. Materials and Methods: 66 students (18-30 years old) with initial stages of dental caries were selected in this single blind randomized clinical trial. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: intervention group received 300g/d probiotic yogurt, and control group received 300 g/d conventional yogurt for 2 weeks. Un-stimulated fasting saliva sample was collected pre- and post-intervention. Bacterial counting was performed for salivary streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli. Salivarius Mitis agar and Rogosa agar were used as culture media for streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli, respectively. Results: The number of streptococcus mutans in saliva was significantly reduced in the intervention group post-intervention (P>0.001); however, it was not changed in the control group (P=0.71). Streptococcus mutans was also significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group post-intervention (P>0.001). Although salivary lactobacilli was reduced significantly in both groups post-intervention (P>0.001), this reduction was not significantly greater in the intervention group compared with the control group (P=0.594). Conclusions: It is suggested that consumption of probiotic yogurt may be useful to prevent the progression of dental caries.
