The nature and composition of any individual microbiome impacts the general health, being a major contributor to oral health. The emergence of drug resistance and the side effects of available antimicrobials have restricted their use in an array of prophylactic options. Indeed, some new strategies to prevent oral diseases are based on manipulating oral microbiota, which is provided by probiotics. Currently, no sufficient substantial evidence exists to support the use of probiotics to prevent, treat or manage oral cavity diseases. At present, probiotic use did not cause adverse effects or increased risks of caries or periodontal diseases. This implicates no strong evidence against treatment using probiotics. In this review, we try to explore the use of probiotics in prevention, treatment and management of some oral cavity diseases and the possibilities of developing designer probiotics for the next generation of oral and throat complimentary healthcare.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/dj5040026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,27]],"date-time":"2017-09-27T10:52:25Z","timestamp":1506509545000},"page":"26","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Probiotics: A Promising Role in Dental Health"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Sari","family":"Mahasneh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Dental Medicine, The University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adel","family":"Mahasneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, The University of Jordan, Amman 11942, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.1016\/j.phrs.2012.11.006","article-title":"The oral microbiome in health and disease","volume":"69","author":"Wade","year":"2013","journal-title":"Pharmacol.
